You mean the same one that alienated many of the hard working farmers that worked there to get medical benefits? Most of those guys left and Hete was left to bus in inner city "workers" from Cincy/Dayton/Columbus and theft at the sort went through the roof. Or do you remember the fiasco with Garcia Temporary Services that ABX hired to get "workers" to man the sort? They ended up getting busted and raided by ICE one night in ILN after ICE found out that the hundreds of illegals hired by Garcia and vetted by ABX were using just a handful of Social Security numbers.

Seriously, you're delusional if you think Amazon Air can get all of the pieces in place to handle a few hundred million packages next Christmas. Give me a break, good luck finding enough sort employees in that cornfield. im not saying Amazon can't be a successful delivery company, just saying it's going to be a long process.

You have to remember that Amazon is doing this to lower it's cost and you guys are one of, if not the highest cost ACMI. The other DHL ACMIs will be courting Amazon heavily also. Would you be willing to take concessions in order to get the Amazon flying?

I know you ABX guys are hoping against all hope that Amazon buys ABX to form it's airline or at the very least signs up ABX to provide ACMI and/or CMI to Amazon while utilizing ILN as the sort location. It's the only way for you guys to get out from the clutches of DHL and what they did to you and ILN.

I am not sure how important Wilimington is going to be to Amazon. The Wall Street article I read today indicated they're not that interested in having a traditional hub and spoke system.
