It’s on a matter of time until Amazon demands access to FDM (Flight Data Monitoring) on its wholly owned and contracted airframes.

Amazon uses an app called Mentor to track and discipline delivery drivers

They would need to actually buy a cert first and umm no it’s not legal

Good Luck Amazon! You'll have to penetrate 6 ft lead wall of union groupthink.

Er, and thank God for that! But yeah, I don't see any Union anywhere agreeing to some sort of dystopian Chicom Surveillance State insanity like that.

Unless your CBA has language formalizing FOQA or preventing the use of FDM how is a Union going to prevent it?

First, the FAA would have to approve. Second, what would it possibly catch you doing? Breaking products? Stopping mid flight at you girlfriends house? Speeding? Reckless flying? What a waste of time it would be to worry about such things.

i see single pilot ops on Amazon planes as a much higher risk for your future.

Wouldn't loose any sleep over it.

AMZN contracts out airline ops so they don't have to manage it (and for whipsaw of course). Same with trains and container ships.

They contract out delivery drivers so they can keep the drivers at arms-length, but they still want to manage driver behavior for efficiency and branding reasons. Planes, trains, and ships already operate about as efficiently as they can.

Unlike planes, trains, and ships, delivery drivers can create public brand-image and liability problems with reckless driving.

No, they wouldn't, and yes, it is.

Relax:

When flying from point A to point B you can't stop and sleep under a tree for an hour, stop at your girlfriend's house for a nooner, stop at your boy's house for a few beers, go to the bar to shoot a few games of pool, or any other type of time wasting and potentially liability producing activities. This is completely unnecessary in an air freight operation. Worrying about nothing.

What's not legal about it?
