Since Amazon is going up against the big boys, shouldn't the pilots of "Amazon One" be paid like the big boys too?

Or.... maybe that's why they decided to use contractors because they know that they won't have to pay contractors as much as an organic, in house airline whose pilots would demand big boy pay.

Or.... maybe that's why they allegedly bought Florida West to be their organic "Prime Air" knowing that those pilots wouldn't demand big boy pay....

You'll have to make it ONE UNION ONE VOICE!

Its the only way to counter it, lots of people won't want to hear that.

Well, at least they have an airplane available for ACMI charter ...

Amazon is taking to the air with cargo planes. Will passenger jets follow? | Business Comment | News | The Independent

Wow. The Independent got this one TOTALLY wrong.

The Amazon Air operation is TOTALLY outsourced. They have a very deep misunderstanding of the subject they're reporting on.

Forget about the passenger issue....

:rolleyes:

I think they're alluding to the difference between putting freight on FedEx/UPS, etc, vs flying their own aircraft on their own schedule.

While it is outsourced in the sense that there is a separate company operating the aircraft, they are "insouced" in the sense that Amazon is able to exercise far more control.

Wait, it gets worse.

Granted this is ground but more jobs taken away with benefits and pensions. Sad. I guess it's time to stop clicking and not supporting amazon.

As much as I hate to see delivery become that much of a low paying job, you have to admit that it's a pretty genius way to start up mass delivery. I did not see that coming...
