[QUOTE="McFeely, post: 4091027, member: 60776"] In theory, yes. It will also make Bezos realize just how expensive and complicated (not to mention the infrastructure required) it is to get into the ship-by-air business. I'm guessing the rate structure we gave Amazon in the past was [I]just[/I] enough to help fill the plane to capacity and pay for the jet fuel, not much more. Amazon gets to try to do it cheaper than that now. Not saying they won't be able to, but it's not going to be easy. I'm a DRA route in town, so I don't really care if we keep Amazon or whatever. All last week my route has had full stop counts and I got all the hours I need. [/QUOTE]
