I think it'll be very interesting to see the compensation that Amazon gives its pilots. Personally I like well paid, well rested pilots as a general principle.

I think it'll be very interesting to see the compensation that Amazon gives its pilots. Personally I like well paid, well rested pilots as a general principle. It's also a good thing from an insurance/liability perspective. A 767 coming down into anywhere populated is a rather scary proposition, as we're probably all too aware.

- Gustomaximus 11y agoWhile pay is between Amazon and the pilots, I would hope the 'well rested' component is covered by regulation to stop companies pushing pilots to fatigue levels. I'm surprised we've not seen drone cargo flights already. It would be a good learning transition before this moves to passenger flights. It cant be too far off.
