ISBAO stage 3 has a lot of stuff that put the company on record as to how to address this. We are very well run and have great management. I do understand this is not about 91, but the idea was proposed, and a comment was made that 91 can just run you into the ground. I agree, but there are Best Practices that have been established, and when more and more 91 places do this, it will be hard for companies not to. If the said company adheres to ISO policy procedures as an overall company cultural. Then the flight department should adopt the same standards.

I can't see Amazon's business plan including running an airline. They subcontract out everything. They like it. Easier to play people off each other. It's the commuter FFD business model on a grander scale. I'm not surprised they're looking at doing it themselves with the prices UPS and FedEx charge these days(!). Only a joke but the cost to move product is expensive. Amazon's profit margin is beyond razor thin as an overall average, and their prices are no where near the low side these days.

Their biggest claim to fame is the ability to offer a lot more products than most brick and mortar retailers, but lately I'm having issues with receiving either counterfeit goods or seemingly discarded product that should've been sent to an outlet type store but is being sold as the same stuff that gets sold in store. I'm losing faith in a lot of the purchases there, to be honest.

I don't think you understand Amazon.
 
I bought Amazon 15 months ago, and it has doubled. Hindsight is always 20/20, but sure wish I bought a LOT more.

We have ordered everything from furniture to diapers off them...

I would price match quite a bit at the grocery store and Walmart so I think that kept my Amazon orders down quite a bit this year.
 
Amazon has been great at pushing down the prices at brick and mortar stores. Now I can just go pick up the XYZ doohickey I want instead of having to order online and wait.

They do have a wide selection of product to offer for those random things you need/want sometimes, but for us most purchases are made locally.

Anyone use jet.com? We've started using them over Amazon, they spank their prices most of the time, especially with their 20% promos. If anything they are just slightly less but you get 2-day shipping on most items for free and you don't have to pay yearly fee like you do with Prime.
 
But with Prime I get free (yes, I know, I pay $99/year so its not really free) audiobooks, movies, products to try, two day shipping on all products, returns, instant refunds 5% cashback on purchases and 0.5% donation to a charity of my choice (WWP). This is why I am a loyal Amazon customer. Then again I've bought well over $5k of stuff off Amazon in the last year.
When Jet.com or others offer the same services I will try them out.
