Amazon Buys 767-300's. Who will fly them?
#12
K4 has the highest rates of the CMI carries, yet they keep getting new 777s. Maybe performance has something to do with it. Or waiting for freight and not worrying about being “on time” because the freight is late. I’ve heard a rumor that aerologic might lose some planes because they leave freight behind.
And you disagreed with your own point. Sim country is more expensive that southern is. So DHL is looking at performance. Amazon will do the same. That’s why they keep asking K4 to fly 76s for them.

Amazon is constantly asking K4 to fly for them but Connie isn't giving up diddly of his company to Bezos and DHL want us to do more for them. Couple of issues with that which are being resolved, one we can't expand anymore due to FAA restrictions and until we finalize and certify as flag, we can only take 3 more airframes and two, need to train crews.

Why is that? Would you say pax flying for several different companies with all their different procedures is easier or harder than flying a CMI contract for a efficient streamlined freight company? How about their safety record? Last time I looked I don’t see their pilots crashing aircraft into the ground due to pilot error? I don’t see their tug drivers tearing the tails off of other aircraft during ground operations. I haven’t seen any dumpsters getting hit at high speed on 25L in LAX? Mesa is no worse than other carriers and better than some.
Perhaps you should talk facts and leave the childish remarks back at the commuter board.

Not even clear that the Delta 7 are coming to the US.
I do believe, however, that at least one of the Westjet ones will be operated by ATI, which means that at least one Amazon-owned aircraft probably will be operating in the US. That gives no clue about what's going to happen to the other 10 (4 Westjet plus 7 DL minus 1 to ATI).
Nor does it say anything about who is going to operate the 6 767s that CAM is going to lease to Amazon in the last 9 months of 2021 (the 5 in the first 3 months of 2021, it was announced officially some time ago, will be operated by ATI). But it is an interesting data point.
Also, it will be interesting to see how quickly IAI can process these 7 aircraft on top of the 4 Westjet/Amazon ones plus the 6 that CAM currently has in TLV plus the (at least) 2 more that CAM will be sending to TLV for completion this year plus whatever DHL sends them this year. They have the benefit of a growing MEX line in addition to TLV, and 2 of the 4 Westjets are currently in MEX, but 15 aircraft plus at least 2 more DHL is a lot. Can they do it all by year-end? I don't doubt that they will try.
