What fun is there in a little truth getting in the way of a good rumor? ;]

OK, so, there is no truth to the purchase of either 100 or 400 aircraft. Got it!

Yes, and pay no attention to the 970 acre super hub being built in CVG.. nothing to see here, move along.

I am very much aware. You do know how UPS started their airline, right? Also, are you aware that Amazon has hired dozens of executives from UPS and FedEx and hundreds of employees from those properties as well?

Ahh I wasn't sure. Yeah I know how UPS started their airline.
My gut feeling is Amazon is going to do the same.

My guess is that Amazon and DHL will form a worldwide global partnership under either a combined branding or a totally new brand. Either way , the express / air freight market will be very different in 5 years. Amazon has it's eyes set on global domination and with a market cap of almost half a trillion dollars , it will have powers greater than many countries and will exert tremendous influence on the market. Interesting times ahead.

Well since we are "just guessing", my gut feeling is that Amazon will be player #3.

Amazon should buy ATI to start it's airline with, since ATI showed loyalty to Amazon during the strike.

I heard that the ATI MEC is considering a concessionary contract to make themselves look even better.....
