As to the Amazon flying... I have a hard time believing this management didn't initially put a bid in for the Amazon flying SY got, but either we were too expensive or Amazon's requirements were unappetizing to management at the time. To chase something like that through a merger seems silly.
But I think your comments on management's hubris is SPOT ON.
An LCA was claiming we’d get a bunch of flying from Amazon pre pandemic. I don’t remember exactly when. Not that I believed it. I just remember trying not to roll my eyes.
I’d guess AS bid on the Amazon flying but it wasn’t a competitive bid.
