No they aren't. The only reference to that was an opinion piece from Simplelflying.com. Not exactly the New York Times.

[Edited for correct stupid clickbait website]

this based in one article written by who?

Amazon sold 80% of their AAWW shares back in March. They now only own about 1% of the company. I doubt that they would be making a 180 to try to buy us outright just because someone else has expressed interest.

If anything I'm guessing they got Amazon's (and DHL, and Alibaba, and DSV, and and and...) blessing long before negotiations got serious.

Yeah I was, Starlifter clarified why it’s still in TUI colors. I assumed you guys did some flying for them and hence the SCA TUI 737

As much as I enjoy the easy domestic Amazon flying (live in base CVG) I don’t really want Amazon owning or controlling us. They’re a nastier, more poorly run version of DHL. They micro-manage Atlas operations. After one recent red eye we were given the wrong parking assignment by Amazon ops. They parked us on the Amazon ramp when we were supposed to be over at the DHL side. About 25 minutes after blocking in we were waiting for the van over to ops (where my truck was parked). The Amazon ramp lead told me I “was not allowed to leave” until they figured out who was going to reposition the aircraft over to DHL. I called Atlas ops and they said mx was already on its way to tow the plane over. The Amazon Lead told me I wasn’t allowed to leave until they showed up. Of course I told her she had zero operational control over my duties. Got in the van and left.

I would have told the Amazon “lead” to go **** up a rope. I agree with your sentiment.

She mistook you for the space-suited wholly owned Amazon carrier

That is some funny **** there…

Atlas isn’t the only one Amazon tries to dictate operational control over. Carry a print out of 121.533 and hand it to the ramp lead and walk away.
