[QUOTE="Artee, post: 2528301, member: 24351"] If you think FDX has not been aware of this for a while, you are new to the party. Our director told us last year that Amazon has big plans and we are not in them. At that time Amazon was not taking any phone calls from FDX. New Amazon warehouse going up right next to airport. They will be using our old 747 parking spot at the ramp. They are having people trained on the 767 as we speak as they are currently leasing 20 of them from ATSG with that number expected to grow. We have one route at the RT that does Amazon. He will go back to his old duties if Amazon disappears. In DGO it will probably be harder felt. Though at one time SDR service at a local station was comprised 75% amazon, which has been falling the last year and FDX has adjusted right along with it. Its not like we are getting all the Amazon and then one day they pull the account from us. Its happening, but its not happening overnight. Its slow enough where our business model can be adjusted as things change. It make be a shock to the frontline employees, but this isn't new news to the big picture people. [/QUOTE]
