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. Pipe |

They won't. What you'll see is Amazon going the ACMI or CMI route. It will be like DHL on steroids. Amazon will pit one contractor vs. another to pressure them to continually lower their costs.
He will demand Part 117 for all! Get ready for FDX plus all you ACMI guys! |

If Amazon wants to create its own nationwide warehouse-to-customer delivery network, I imagine they believe doing so will allow them to provide better service at lower prices than the Big 3 established parcel service (USPS, FDX, UPS).
Can they develop such a delivery network? I'm sure they could, but the Capex required to develop the infrastructure to get there would be astronomical. Could they do it such that they eclipse any of the above carriers in volume in just *two* years? Absolutely positively not, and anybody who suggests otherwise needs a whiz quiz. |

Sure! Where would they find a sort facility, just lying dormant; and a workforce population just waiting for jobs? Those Amazon guys are just SO naive!

Amazon will take the easy way out
Amazon can buy FDX, plain and simple. Just check out their market capitalizations.
