Oh or if UPS or FedEx writes a rubber check to a super PAC....yeah that might do it.

For your information FedEx has a Fatigue Management Plan that is sent to the FAA on a monthly basis and is used by the crews. We don't send rubber checks, 1. we have a LOT of money 2. we don't need to.

Back the OP claim & commenting on the AMZN moves to date. If their foray into transportation is to resemble in any way their conquest of retail but stops at becoming a DHL style contractor broker; they've really brought nothing new to the game have they? $1011 a share at today's open. Doh!

One thing Amazon does is think outside the box to lower cost.

Case in point, Monday my packages were delivered by a 1985 Buick LaSabre....

So we're talking about a multi billion dollar company contracting out to individuals in their own cars to deliver packages. Do I see that mentality starting their own airline or do I see them doing the DHL model and letting the bottom feeders fight it out. Hmmm....

The later is why it's important to have that ramp under a common union and scoped so tight its untouchable by the outside. It will be the only way to fight off the impending whip saw. Otherwise in a few years time you'll have some startup with clapped out POS aircraft and desperate pilots undercutting what you've built

Isn't that already happening with ATI undercutting the 1224 carriers?

I'll give you some slack because you seem ignorant on the issue. ATI is currently working under a JCBA from 2013 that was negotiated when we were merging with CCI and both airlines lost a significant amount of business. There were a lot of furloughs and downgrades.We know we're really underpaid in the current market. We're now doing quite well and in the final stages of negotiations with the company. How about you give us a chance? If we settle for a POS contract then by all means fire-away! Kalitta or better!

L8fr8,
This guy is not ignorant (well, then again....), he is certified "the Brain from MEM" posting under another tag. Please do not give this grenade throwing hack the time of day or the satisfaction of answering him.

If that's right, and it may be, the OP was off target. Watch for the trucks, that will be key.
