This development is going to take time but is well worth watching.



I suspect they plan to do this with drones as the technology improves. You are correct it is another piece of the puzzle which bears watching.

For pilots not on track to be hired at the Big 6, Amazon Airlines has the potential to be a new career destination but only time will tell. Under the current maximum whipsaw paradigm it’s only a small step up from a FFD carrier with similar levels of career risk.

The key point is getting in on the ground floor of the next big thing means taking a big risk with inadequate information and has a massive luck component built into it. I wish we would all be hired by the big 6 and make millions. It isn’t going to happen though so some of us need other options.

Same could be said for Atlas and Titan Leasing. Amazon has lots of options to put aircraft in air.
