[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1975682, member: 24302"] Except now instead of paying FedEx enough per package PLUS a profit to operate an airline, they keep the profit for themselves. As Mr. FedEx pointed out, by sticking to major metro areas where most of the country's population is, they avoid having to handle the costs FedEx has eat in order to serve every rural outpost of the country. More profit for them. Doesn't sound like they're investing in as large a fleet as FedEx has, a further clue they'll stick to where the money is. A mgr once told me the New York metro area produces 11% of Express volume(this was before Ground). Obviously the big metro's are very lucrative for FedEx, and will be for Amazon also. Their profits on shipping packages is razor thin primarily because they're having to pay shipping costs on every package. You're in denial because you see the threat to YOUR cash cow. What goes around.... [/QUOTE]
