Hypothetically speaking, if Amazon were to purchase FedEx, how would ATSG fit in that equation? Would ATSG be the odd man out?

How would amazon afford to pay fed ex pilots? There is a reason they use the absolute cheapest carriers for contracts.. they are cheap, why pay pilots 2-300k a year when you can pay them 60-180k

They used to be the destination of those whose career didn’t pan out. Sure the pay is better than before but now everyone is talking about how amazing they are!

Call me naive but what makes LCCs and regionals better than ATI? ABX sure I get that, but ATI?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but you didn’t have much recent experience. Not much time in the last year means you won’t get much interest, or so I’ve been told...

The only "airline" with interview invite is Sun Country, but can't afford to work there...
So, I guess the "low" timers that you speak of that airlines are hiring, have something else besides just an application up their sleeve...?
Tons of LOR's, buddies on the HR team...idk..

I don’t know if Amazon would do such a thing. I could see them purchase ATI or atlas or abx or even all of them on a bulk discount... someday. But not Fedex or UPS. Too expensive for what you get. Besides these are global freight carriers. Amazon doesn’t serve the planet and will not need that kind of structure to maintain.

Besides I wonder if the DOJ would let that slide

There is enough antitrust talk out there. Would be the preverbal straw that breaks the camels back.

Just one man's opinion, but until Amazon changes their business model nothing will change. It is a close duplicate of the DHL ACMI race to the bottom model and guess what.....it works. Does anyone see DHL changing their model after all these years?
