Default Rumors

Heard a few outrageous ones lately:

1. We are about to be awarded a large contract to move intra-China mail to include a large sort in Chengdu

2. Amazon is sick of trying to get an airline running from scratch and is set to buy FedEx. There is some motivation on the Company side to get the pilot contract done before the purchase announcement.

Amazon has sunk billions into getting an airline running from scratch and have done a fairly good job so far.

Number 2 has always scared me. I don't know why they didn't execute that when our stock dropped to $100. Way too big of a corporate merger for me to even think through. But it would be positive cash flow for Amazon and solve all their shipping issues. Not sure it would go so well for us. I'd love for TA 2 to include a golden parachute union statement. Like an instant bump to retirement or pay.

All of the above sounds awful.

Regarding #1. Could be,...If memory serves corectly, the Company aquired Evergreen Airlines "intra-China" route authority back in the early 1990's.

AMZ has zero interest in owning and running an airline. They prefer the current model of 3rd party operations. Plus, it's way easier to whipsaw their airline vendors every contract renewal.

Makes the taxing of intra-china income super relevant.

What a bunch of pandash*t. That's like having your main intra-US sort in Seattle.
