Perhaps a "hint" was given within the article pasted in the link below?
A senior aircraft-leasing company executive familiar with Amazon’s plans said the company has approached several cargo-aircraft lessors to line up the planes. The company has had talks with Air Transport Services Group (ATSG), Atlas Air and Kalitta Air, according to sources, though Kalitta Chief Executive Connie Kalitta denied he has talked with Amazon.
Because Amazon doesn’t have an Air Operator’s Certificate, which it needs to fly airplanes commercially, it would have to turn to cargo-jet lessors to launch the business.

The Atlas CBA is no FDX, or DL, etc but you really need to investigate further before you have credibility on that statement.

What is the current 737 situation exactly???
Merger will either be agreed upon by both pilot groups, or it will go to arbitration...due to newer laws passed by Congress after the AA/ TWA debacle.

They can only whipsaw us if we let them. With the help of Mr. Hoffa, we didn't let them use Florida West as a weapon against us as they had planned. I suggest that if we link arms, trust our 1224 leadership and behave fraternally toward each other, this could work out very well for all concerned. I'm willing to give it a try.

Bruce Jenner probably had a better transition than pilot groups have ever had.
Good Luck my Brothers & Sisters. Stay Together.
