The lawn mower guys story got my suspicions stoked. Are they listening in? Leaking here on purpose? OMG!
Similar statements were made when Southwest and Jet Blue were breaking into the market

The hubris is deafening.

Like when DHL decided to enter the US market.

This has exactly zero to do with why DHL failed in their attempt to enter the US market. Besides, as was already pointed out in this thread ad nauseum, this venture does not involve retail express package shipments. The only thing that they're taking away from Brown and Purple are their own packages.

Since Amazon is extremely low margin, Brown and Purple should welcome Amazon taking their stuff inhouse. It will free space on Brown and Purple jets for much higher yielding volume.

Why are some supposing that ACMI carriers couldn't/wouldn't fly for both DHL and Amazon.
It also seems that some are supposing that another freight airline means more freight.

None of the existing DHL contractors have enough planes to do both.

A fund, B fund; last men standing. I'd call it respect.
