[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 4303068, member: 12508"] Express is headed down the toilet. I doubt Bezos would buy FedEx unless it was at a fire-sale price. By leasing his aircraft fleet and contracting out delivery ala' Ground, Bezos has incredible flexibility. Smith owns hundreds of jets and thousands of vehicles, all of which sit and cost him money when they aren't full. If business slows down, Bezos severs ties with Atlas Air or simply leases fewer planes. He also would subsidize fewer new delivery subcontractors. In other words, he has created a very flexible business model that the other carriers cannot duplicate. Bezos is making money off the product, not the delivery. That's just an expedited way of improving the product to the consumer. UPS, FedEx, and the rest have no product to sell but their ability to transport goods. Big difference. As I just wrote in another post, Bezos is changing the delivery service paradigm by making it an integral system and cutting-out the cost of having a third party deliver. He owns the entire process, controls the costs, and has the flexibility to tailor it to Amazon's needs as they evolves. Work Smarter, not Harder, LOL. [/QUOTE]
