As an outsider, ABX guys wearing DHL gear while being 100% owned by them is expected. On the other hand, an ATI pilot wearing Prime Air gear is the equivalent of a Mesa CRJ pilot saying he is an AA pilot, or a Mesa ERJ pilot saying they are a United Pilot.
Besides all of that, why would someone want to be employed by Amazon? A company who treats their worker bees worse than J.O. Oh wait, I think we already know the answer to that.

ABX was supposed to then operate as the DHL airline, then the economy melted down. It's a tiny bit different

As far as DHL, you might be right. They might be taking down to the slaughter house in a slow walk but only time will tell. We will definitely continue this conversation when them time comes Mr. Sour Grapes Astar.
