From my understanding, a decent number of their flights are pretty much paid for on Amazon deliveries alone: The scale that Amazon ships at makes it feasible to quickly deliver many other packages economically. If Amazon chooses to cut FedEx and UPS out of the deal (even partially), how much will that impact those companies' ability to operate two-day shipping affordably?
