My Sunday Amazon Prime order was delivered by a guy in a USPS van today.

He is just very excited to be part of something new and wants to build anticipation to recruit the best pilots for prime air. I didn't take it as an insult. But it will be a big gamble for the pilots who do go there at at time with record hiring at established airlines with good pay and benefits. Will Bezos match that?

Sounds like more Bezos ego, than good business plan.

It's not a gamble if those airlines aren't hiring you. If offered both however... Yes. Again, all theoretical.

The first post makes it sound like Amazon will be operating their own airline but later posts indicate it may be starting as an ACMI service from ABX, etc. Who's to say that's not all it ever is, ACMI or CMI.

If they get to use the coolest call sign ever... "Aerosmith", I'm All In!!
Woo Hoo!! :p :D

And how did UPS start?

Ups airline was created when there were no cell phones smart tv Google Facebook Twitter and so on . you can't simply reinvent wheel from 1987 in 2015. if you don't belive me go ask Eastern and pan am guys.

Yeah, those Amazon guys aren't very business savy. They don't know how to use cutting edge technology, like the copier or fax machines. That Interweb thing is just a flash in the pan. I'm backing up all of my data on wax cylinders.

I wish Amazon Prime Air the best of luck and hope their pilots wait for UPS to settle with IPA before they come to terms. You don't want a piddling contract like FDX.

This looks like a good way to turn $90 Billion into $45 Billion.

Of all the things in the world to invest in, airlines aren't historically a great choice.

Why would you take a great money printing operation and expose it to fuel prices, terrorism, FAA, ICAO, weather, etc? As it runs now, they are able to pass all blame and risk in those areas on.
