With cargo so in-demand and gas prices as low as they can go it's not that surprising to see them pushing through on plans for their own flying.
Who knows if this will keep up though. I have to think it won't in the long term if the economy just keeps tanking.

No, they really aren't. It's not the way they do things, and it's to their advantage to spread their flying out over a number of carriers and let them fight it out to be the cheapest one doing the most flying. If they start running their own airline, suddenly there's a group of pilots who thinks they're the next UPS or FedEx and it's nothing but headaches for Amazon after that. The callsign thing means nothing. It is entirely possible to fly under a callsign different than your own when you're flying somebody else's stuff.

Or a callsign that has nothing to do with what you think it is...Gotham. I believe Batman has nothing to do with that callsign.
