I disagree with your assertion that ACMI equal unreliability. I will make the argument that ACMI gives better reliability than an inhouse airline. The reason is that if the ACMI has strict performance goals written into it's contract and if they fail to meet those, they risk being replaced by a contractor who will, with the subsequent loss of flying and probable furloughs of said pilots.

If you knew your job depended on you blocking out and arriving at a certain time, you'd do whatever it took to make it happen. If that means liberal interpretation of the regs to ensure ontime performance, then so be it.

'Amazon Transportation & Logistics' could earn the e-commerce giant $5bn a year - The Loadstar

Perhaps unrelated, but several months ago, Amazon agreed to start collecting Ohio sales tax due to their plans to significantly increase their presence in the state.

That must mean they plan to use ILN as the sort for Prime Air.

Per Amazon's Q3'15 10-Q, net income (ie. profit) was $79M on $25.4B revenue.

As I've said before....good luck.

Like the FAA allows the majors to operationally control their FFD partners.
The majors are not in operational control of their FFD partners.

They tell them the schedule they would like, but are not in control of daily flight ops.

Amazon will be the Uber of the sky. Delivering packages via independent contractors using their own airplanes. Mechanical Turks of the sky. Where can I sign up?
