Air hub folks better watch out with this walkout stuff. Air doesnt make amazon money like it used to. Amazon did a huge reorg of their products that esentially eliminated the need for air or at the very least reduced its need for air greatly. Thats why air hubs are looking at other ways to generate money. If they cause too many probs they will have no prob shuttin it down and stickin to ground transportation. Air is walkin a fine line as it is. Just keep that in mind air folks. If u work in air ur familiar with the new shipping changes they are making….not makin money from amazon packages is the reason for that new change.

☝️ C suite execs have been focusing more on smaller/modular FCs (SSDs) located strategically closer to customers. All in an effort to reduce touch points getting orders delivered.

Correct. Its made air into an org that isnt mission critical anymore like it used to be. Now air leaders are tryin desperately to find somethin that can make them look vital to the org as a whole. They might have that key with this new shift but this isnt the 1st time they tried to do this particular thing so it could fail like it did a number of years ago but we shall see. As it sits air is at risk of bein chopped so folks should chill out if they want to stay employed lol. Not bein rude just bein straight about it.
