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.

A portfolio of contractors will give Amazon the flexibility needed to take on FedEx and UPS.

Yeah, this ain't 1911; who does Sam Walton think he is, going head to head with the mighty F.W. Woolworth?

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.

A nationwide warehouse-to-customer delivery network requires much, much, MUCH more than just an empty ILN air sort facility.
