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....

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

Such an "insourcing" move, which will tighten Amazon's control over its delivery network, amounts to a reversal of traditional business practice.
More conventional companies typically like to outsource everything outside of their core functions. Why do it ourselves if we can get someone else to do it cheaper for us? What? Customers might suffer? But if we outsource we can blame someone else if anything thing goes wrong.

Forget about the passenger issue....

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.

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.
