Wow. What a cheap price for Amazon to buy a turn-key airline, ready for expansion into the organic Prime Air.

Cliff, why don't you get an expat job in China since the pay is so much higher than here in the states, especially at Atlas? Or did PilotYIP blackball you?

I am over 50. If you are over 50 and in perfect health, you have a 50-50 shot of passing their physical. The Chinese airlines are trying to change the physical so they don't disqualify so many people.

Namaste

Also...
a guy I just flew with said that FW WAS sold to Amazon. I don't know his source...don't know if it is true or not...
