The man told me, face to face, that in order for it to be viable for AS they need...

1. More efficient schedules from AZ. Since they're basically just pimping pilots for Bezos, they can't eat a lot of soft time.


2. More planes, like 30-ish.

If we get 30-ish planes, presumably the schedule issues are resolved and the contract will stick for a while. Assuming Bezos realizes that he needs stability in his air ops backbone and doesn't try to whipsaw airlines like app-based gig drivers.

But if 30-ish planes go away suddenly, that's going to be a big deal for pilots.
