Your lack of knowledge of the situation strikes again. UPS and FedEx will be welcoming this news as it will remove high density, low margin volume from their networks and free up space for much higher yielding volume that they had to previously turn away as the contractually guaranteed Amazon volume got priority.
As for wages, this will have no effect on FedEx and UPS but will have a huge impact on ATSG. ABX and ATI will now see themselves as peers of FedEx and UPS and not as a traditional ACMI. Therefore, they will be wanting a new contract that's comparable with FedEx and UPS.
Like I said, for a whole lot of reasons, this Amazon deal is no panacea.
