Amazon Air is the most egregious example of jumping-the-gun to date – because the restriction on their product is external. The FAA has to allow them to do this – and I dont like these visions of the future I think they push back the industry. The real problem with the Amazon Air situation is that Amazon is forcing the FAA to do something about it. By promising things to customers, you force the FAAs hand one way or another – and if there is pressure to deliver a decision, theyre going to swing to caution.”]
