I started this thread last October, and I got some of the strangest responses from Amazon flying drone 767's to get robots to fly. Anybody listening now? This outfit is for real, and quite frankly while I am an employee, I think they are the evil empire. But, if you're thinking they are not a force to be dealt with; you underestimate them.

I've heard they're sucking up 767 qualified pilots up like a vacuum cleaner.

Left you a PM.

Still waiting on "world's largest overnight parcel delivery service within the next two years" part of the prognostication.

What's up the DHL liveried 767 doing the Amazon sort?

Glad you reminded me, I said "two years", not 71/2 months. This could turn out great for your current employer, (ATSG, Atlas Air and their new friends, Kalitta Air, Omni, etc.). Brown or Purple, your upgrade time is getting longer. If anyone on here was alive or at least out of High School in 1983, many thought and said some unusal things about some Fred Smith guy. Hell, if your parents were alive and out of H.S. in 1971, they might remember some "idiot" name Herb Kellerher. Cheers

Didn't a recent fedex bid have a 757 CA with one year on property?

Actually upgrade times and Brown and Purple seem to be coming down. You got beat on in high school quite a bit I'm guessing.

and wide body captain in MEM with less than 6 years on property. Shortest upgrades in the last 30 years, but why let facts cloud his head.

1983?? If my memory serves me correctly, Fed Ex was up and running with B727's and DC10's in their fleet in 1983. I think you meant to say 1973. Maybe it will take Amazon 10 years instead of 2 to meet your "world's largest" claim. I do recall a Herb Kelleher (you need spell check) back in the early 70's. I also recall some unusual (spell check again) being said about Fred Smith.
