So all the fanbois think Jeff will immediately succeed just because? Pffffffft |
Amazons profits, like many companies, are spent in R&D to grow the company. Here is a great article on their low profits. If you pay all your bills, invest in future growth, pay your emplyees well, make your investors money and build an airline, who cares if your profit is $1.

Why Amazon Has No Profits (And Why It Works) ? Benedict Evans "Amazon’s top cash salary of $160,000 is more than triple the median US household income in 2013, but in the fiercely competitive market for talent that is the technology industry, it is not excessive." Pilots likely aren't highly regarded by Bozos...that's a shame. |
Sideshow. I generally agree that Amazon is not the be all and end all of companies. But, how many of the ACMI airlines do you think are non-union? I can't think of one with a fleet over 10 aircraft that aren't and several of the smaller ones are also. Certainly the carriers doing the Aerosmith flying are.

How will Teamsters or ALPA react when Jeffy tells the CEO of whoever that his pilots better behave, lest he take away the table scraps? I love these two-faced leftists, who are all about spending everybody else's money, but will no doubt treat ACMI pilots like third rate citizens. OCCUPY AMAZON! Good luck with the table scraps of Jeff Bozos. |
I saw on the Atlas thread that they're trying to get to 2500 crew members almost overnight. Didn't they have around 1100 earlier this year? That sure is a lot of expansion...

Despite being an uber-lefty, isn't it odd that his work force isn't unionized? And for the ACMIs he might utilize, how will he react to pilots demanding that work rules be followed, or that Part 117 safeguards or lithium battery protocols that other unions gain be respected?

Uh, yeah. they did that a few weeks ago in Seattle. The protestors bought their Guy Fawkes masks off Amazon and picked them up from a Amazon delivery locker near the Seattle HQ.
Fortunately the fulfillment algorithm prepositioned zip tie handcuffs for the Seattle PD. |
