And you're buying 767s like they're going out of style..... oh wait, they are. :D

That said, I think -10s and the Airbuses are being slowly parked?

Bezos Playing Chicken?
 
Perhaps Jeff is playing chicken with FDX and UPS. He is showing them he can have his own delivery operation and if they do not want to lose that stream of packages they will have to give him substantial discounts.

Who will blink first?

I'd love for UPS and Fed Ex to tell Bezos to deliver his own low yielding packages next year, see how fast he gets that network up and running..

Relentless algorithm feeding on a metamodern planet of online shopping junkies; indifferent, unapologetic, impersonal. If Dr. Dystopia dreamed he could make fulfillment fly absent induced drag of salary & benefits, other than his own, think he'd give it a go? Imaginary bull's-eye that can't be hit but one which stands dead center of an oversized target, he'll never quit on. Watch your step replicants, blade runners are standing by.

Thank you, Philip Dick.

Seriously? Who will blink first?

I agree with Rocket Bob in the post below yours. If UPS and FedEx sometimes have trouble delivering packages, I would love to see Amazon do it all by themselves next Christmas.

It would be an unmitigated disaster.

Ahh but they might not to do it by themselves. Remember that express cargo airline that worked out of a cornfield in Ohio? Well the pieces are still around!
