I don’t have the time to look up this ROI, but I imagine it’s not very much. An airline the size of FedEx would run through $175m in the blink of an eye.

Sears was the original Amazon. They just used catalogs. All companies can go out of business. UPS and FedEx have always sought markets outside of Amazon current residential market. Amazon wont own India or China. Impressive gains, but some reality is overlooked in the dreamy Amazon world.
UPS and FedEx could start a website to compete with Amazon, they don't want too, but at some point, they could. They already own the IT and the air/ground infrastructure and world wide access. Not a far stretch. Other corporations are responding to reclaim market loss from amazon. They are ripe for competition themselves. Amazon isn't omnipotent.

If they continue to be concerned, maybe Purple isn't for them and they should go to the reliably stable legacy carriers.
