I having been hunting online for what corporate passenger aircraft Amazon operates, but I can't find anything. Anybody know?
I'm guessing that Amazon will be buying airline tickets for 200-300 pax a day between NYC-SEA and SEA-IAD. It seems like a corporate 757 shuttle would be a worthwhile operation, in addition to whatever corporate executive aircraft they use.

Corproations are not in the business of catering to the egos, or flexibility for their employees.
The minions be assigned their travel orders, and show up for their travel as directed at the appointed time.
Amazon, as other large entities in the past, present and future, avail themselves with a particular hotel brand, with a block of hotel rooms.
Some own secure living facility(ies) with full service apartments.

Wasting the minions' time by having them sit in a city overnight waiting for the AMZN shuttle' - sure as long as you don't care about employee turnover. That still doesn't fix the financial problem that the additional cost of hotel and per diem is more than a commercial airline ticket.
And I'm sure that AMZN has corporate contracts with several airlines.

Using the low end of your estimate you are talking about moving 12,000 people a month coast to coast. That’s pretty doubtful and would not make much sense. They would have been better off to simply expand in the SEA area. I suspect there real travel needs will be a few hundred people each month.
Consultants and accounting firms OTOH are bigly air travelers.
