"Amazon is hiring for their own airline, according to people familiar with the situation. "
atpcliff,
Interesting. Are they using an agency or recruiter...or do they have their own in-house flt ops hiring people ?
Saw this article previously but didn't read far enough down in it to see pilots mentioned. Hard to say what it means exactly but it sure sounds like they're starting an airline:
"The project will bring up to 2,700 jobs and 40 Boeing 767s to CVG, according to officials, with 600 full-time jobs coming initially. The jobs are expected to include sorting personnel, pilots, ground support employees, management and maintenance. The first aircraft will arrive by April. It is the largest jobs expansion at CVG since Delta opened its hub in the 1990s."
Saw in another forum that a dispatcher said Amazon was "recruiting heavily" from his employer for this endeavor. Maybe sump'ns up...
