Did you get a response after you emailed them back to confirm a date for the call?

Really fat, but every time I ask around, they tell me that's there's a reason for it and to be patient haha. I know 2 pilots getting classes in September and as far as I know they keep hiring. So patience it is!

Add ATI, ABX and Kalitta. Mesa will only be doing DHL flying....for now.

“Feeder carrier”? As in for Amazon packages or pilots? Also remember, Amazon is not an airline.

Kalitta doesn’t fly for Amazon.

Word on the street is Bezos wants 25% ownership in any company that flies for him and Connie told him to pound sand.

It is not simple ownership, but rather warrants/options so that Amazon can have some control of any mergers/acquisitions. I am told that this is not an uncommon "thing" between big boys and their major long term contractors, but I am not an MBA.

The way I heard it, it was a lot more graphic than pound sand. The Amazon boys weren't used to being talked to like that, to put it mildly.

Well if it were Connie doing the talking.....I wouldn’t doubt that. Bottom line is that K4 will never give a molecule of operational control away. At least as long as the old man is around.

Enough of the tough talk. I have been at K4 for quite some time, and I am sure the conversation between Amazon and Kalitta was friendly. PS was quoted a while back saying K4 would entertain a long term contract with Amazon if the need arises. Long way from the rumors flying about this business deal.
