Just been quietly reading, we've even had some business reporters on here trolling as pilots looking for inside info, which I have not given. Trust me, these guys at Amazon are for real; never tell them what they cannot do. They will bet the farm to prove everyone wrong. They have made some mistakes occasionally over the years, but remember, this is a company less than 20 years old. Incidentally, their Fulfillment Center in CAE is twice the size of the UPS hub in CAE, and bigger than the FedEx hub in IND. FWIW... Happy Motoring and Cheers.

According to a bunch of other posters, Amazon has hired a lot of logistics people away from UPS.

The F Sort at ILN is nothing but a shell and as the article leads one to think its a turn key operation, sorting wise it is not. DHL sold all the belts and sorting equipment to UPS.

Amazon IS starting its own airline. It will surpass UPS and FedEx within 5yrs.
Is this the statement you are looking for? |

Not hard to be bigger than the UPS "hub" in CAE since there isn't one.

CAE was a regional sort in the old days...before as much volume as possible was brought into Louisville Inditucky Standiford Galactic International World Port.
The facility is still there, but it only gets something like 5 flights a day. DSM, DEN, PHX, MCO and a handful of other non-sort cities see as many or more planes as Columbia does. |
Some people do not realize the size and volume of real sort facilities at Fedex and UPS.
|
Amazon already started an airline. They just added more aircraft. Will it keep getting bigger, or will it stop...that is the question.
