Long time lurker first time poster. Serious question as I am not too familiar with the cargo side of things. Hypothetically, if one were in the hiring pool at either UPS or FedEx, and hypothetically if said person were offered a job with one of the two, should that person consider turning it down and focusing their efforts instead on a career with ATSG? Will ATSG/Amazon be bigger than UPS and Fed Ex?
This reminds me of someone in the 1970's who may have accepted employment with TWA or Pan Am while not paying much attention to that little 737 operator known as Southwest Airlines. If I understand the article correctly, it sounds as if Amazon will very soon be the big logistics company on the block and could very well put UPS and/or Fed Ex out of business. Stranger things have happened.

You would be a fool to turn down FedEx (or even UPS). ATSG has a loooong way to go to equal the compensation package and work rules that FedEd offers. Although the airline industry is a volatile one, the global courier delivery airlines are much less susceptible to the economic upheavals that wiped out those legacy carriers and FedEx dominates the field. It would be foolish to stake your career on ATSG/Amazon.
