It's amazing that even writers that typically cover aviation are still missing the big picture. It's like Amazon knows black magic or Jedi mind tricks or something.

Well Amazon probably is looking at the regionals. I’m sure they are wanting to save as much as possible. I suspect though, the staffing that plagues the regionals will definitely be felt by what amazon wants to do. At a certain point pay will have to catch up at the ACMIs if amazon wants to do next day prime.

Just spitballing here, but I suspect one reason the writers can’t seem to get it right is that the industry is different and new from what it has been. Consider that the new player amazon is not like the other freight companies. At this stage they want their freight company to move their products on a massive scale. This is fairly new. I’m not aware of any other company that has attempted this (at least on this scale). So what data do these writers have to go on? UPS? FDX? These companies move others individuals and companies materials. So how do you analyze a company like amazon? In other words I’m not surprised that the writers are not getting everything accurate. Additionally, amazon is very secretive. They play their cards close.

All that said, there has been some amazingly lazy writing. A simple fact finding mission would greatly improve some of these articles. They all want to be the first to predict amazons next move and be recognized as an industry expert. Yet they miss the basics. Instead of reporting accurately what is, they report on what they think tomorrow will be.

Default 900/200 swap

They still using dynamic for this or an actual footprint since it’s to save resources?

I'm one that got awarded 900 then have to do differences into the 200. Once differences started they pulled us out of dynamic
