[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1971652, member: 12508"] Drones are never going to happen. Airplanes and real and tangible, and Bezos has plenty of funding. In my opinion, he could make it work because he already has the distribution infrastructure. His biggest problem would be hiring a competent workforce, not the aircraft. Plus, this would be for a premium service and market. Bezos is smart enough to know you don't move motor freight on planes. He probably wants control of the process from beginning to end, and he is realizing FedEx isn't up to the task. Look at how poorly Express operations are run, and who we have delivering these days. Is it any wonder Amazon is looking at alternatives? Sure, maybe it's just a negotiating ploy, but I don't think so. Our service and reliability are in the toilet, and we have leadership that is only concerned with stock values, not properly running a RELIABLE delivery service. Without Ground to prop-up this piece-of-crap operation, we'd be out of business. That is unacceptable to Amazon, and unlike most shippers, Bezos has the means to make something happen. Call me, Jeff! Hey, Jeff. I'm available to "make it happen" for you. [/QUOTE]
