The reality is that no one knows anything, except that Amazon is joining the party and will start whipsawing the ACMI's, and put hurt on UPS / Fed Ex.

I agree Whiplash......lets give all the crap Amazon flying to ATI. That way they can fly it cheaper while funding my retirement. It's a win-win

You couldn't be more mistaken. All that will happen is SOME of the low yield, but high cube Amazon volume that was carried by FedEx/UPS will now be flown by Amazon contractors. The end result will be freeing up space on existing FedEx/UPS jets for much higher yielding volume without having to purchase additional jets.

Amazon is the dry-lessor of the aircraft. As such, it is prudent to have expertise as to how their assets are being maintained. Doesn't cost much to hire a few folks, in the big scheme of things.

With the recent PEMCO aquisition and AMES in place, Amazon could be building its maintenance department through their own management team and through acquisitions of the aforementioned companies.
You know that ATSG owns AMES and AMES bought PEMCO right?

He's probably smart enough to realize that everything is for sale for the right price.

Good, I don't want anything bad to happen to either.

Rumors swirl about Amazon acquiring more freighters | Air Cargo World

Seems like a good time for more rumors.
