It’s possible, but it’s too early to tell

There aren't that many 208 cargo jobs around FL and most (if not all) of the pilots filling them are lifers . . . where do you fly the 208 now?

Florida just passed a bill to build a new set of toll roads near that part of the state.

Media hasn't mentioned it but I am betting Amazon was behind it.

The Polk Parkway there is already toll Road.

Amazon was smart by doing this. Halfway between MCO and TPA. Cover both cities by air with a 30 minute truck ride to each. UPS and FDX fly to each city. UPS even has flights between MCO and TPA.

That's funny.....
A. Nobody not even Amazon seem to have a clue what's going to happen next.
B. Why on earth would FedEx supplement it?
