I read here much more than I post but this gem is just too stupid to pass up. This is a perfect example of why pilots aren't good investment advisors.
I work in the M & A field on the side. |

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! |

With Amazon in operational control of a "portfolio" of contractors, the FAA will eventually make them bring it in house as their own airline. |
They (FAA) haven't done that with DHL. By my count there are at least 7 different airlines on the CVG ramp moving their product every night.

Like maybe a bunch of fullfilment centers already, and a 2014 revenue of ~$88B, and gross income ~$25B. These figures are a ~2.5 fold, and ~3.25 fold, respectively, over 2010 figures. Can YOUR company say the same things ? There are also many closed ABX ramps/buildings scattered across the country.
