  @sickburnbro Amazon fulfilment centers and other corporate distro hubs are next once groids figure out where they are, what's in them, and disseminate that info throughout their various social medias. Those'd be easier and bigger scores than any walgreens, and with how poorly Amazon treats its employees, pretty much everyone there would probably just let them take everything, why do they care?

  a lot of richer people think "we don't need them anyway" but almost of the things they enjoy rely on economies of scale which leverage this stuff.

  @professionalbigot69 @D-Droid @Shadowman311 @sickburnbro Dude they have cameras attached to your mirror to make sure you have your eyes on the road at all times. They make sure you aren’t peeing in bottles because they know it’s the only way to make it work w/ the delivery schedule.
  Only way they’re getting the field niggers to protect massa’s propertah is if they spike the fountains w/ adderall

  the majority of Amazon foot workers are more house than field, less sympathetic to banditry
  they'll still roll over if a gun or two starts getting waved around

  Bro you have no idea, yes they would. Amazon workers would just leave and not try to fight.
  
  I took a side gig with them years ago and I hear it's gotten way worse since Bezos got divorced

  @professionalbigot69 @D-Droid @Shadowman311 @sickburnbro I’ve talked to the guys contracted to fly their caravans and even they’re hating life. Really doubt anyone but the people w/ a door to close think too highly of the company.
  Add in the inherent liability of people putting their body on the line to protect stock and I don’t see much happening. The good hearted justice ones will get winnowed out after a couple thefts

  @WashedOutGundamPilot @D-Droid @Shadowman311 @sickburnbro that's delivery. there's a lot more feet in the warehouses picking, packing, sorting and loading than people driving. hell, AMZ even subcons deliveries to unmarked third-parties just to keep time

  @professionalbigot69 @Shadowman311 I can guarantee you they could get into one.
  
  At minimum, they have hundreds of doors where the trucks back up. All some enterprising fellow has to do is jam some pallets and the door can't roll down

  @professionalbigot69 @sickburnbro Plus, if they really can't get into those centers (doubtful) they can just set up camp just outside and raid all the trucks as they leave or enter, either way they aren't invincible.

  @professionalbigot69 @sickburnbro They are locked down for now, all it would take is for some groid working there to go out for a smoke break and "forget" to close the door all the way and they're in, this will happen I guarantee it. Delivery Trucks alone won't be able to sate their sticky handed desires forever, they always want more.

  those places are actually pretty locked down (at least from the front door)
  easier to just hit the trucks during delivery (they already do this in broad daylight)

  @professionalbigot69 @D-Droid @Shadowman311 @WashedOutGundamPilot @sickburnbro early on in the program it was a great way to get loot boxes because it was all honor system, the warehouse goons handed you a gaylord full of packages and you scanned them in with your phone, and then back out. Retards were getting fired left and right for stealing packages they scanned in and I was just lazy scanning, leaving anything that felt valuable unscanned and just dumping it in the back of my car, and then oops it wasn't on my manifest guess I'll take it home

  @poastoak @Paultron @professionalbigot69 @D-Droid @Shadowman311 @sickburnbro it is funny to me that no matter how high up they are in the game every guy flying logistics hates it.
  “man these guys are assholes, I can’t wait to be at FedEx” says the guy flying a C208 on Daily package hauls making $54,000, sleeping in his own bed and banging his wife every night.
  “man these guys are assholes, I can’t wait to be at UPS” says the FO flying an ATR making $73,000 and racking up PIC turbine time for that coveted WB gig
  “man these guys are assholes, I can’t wait to just retire and be a Charter guy” says the boomer flying an A300 for $360,000/year. “I hate waking up early all the time, and the overnights aren’t even long enough to see the city!”

  @poastoak @Paultron @professionalbigot69 @D-Droid @Shadowman311 @sickburnbro Funniest of all is saying “yeah man but isn’t it better not having to deal with passengers? You could be flying Southwest or JetBlue between vegas, and atlantic city” and hearing them say
  “yeah…it is nice that packages never fight back“

  @sapphire @professionalbigot69 @D-Droid @WashedOutGundamPilot @sickburnbro I will never forget the time I was over at my parents' house and watched as some yellow eyed sheboon in her underwear stumbled out of a 90s shitbox Mitsubishi that was so full of packages that she couldn't even see out the rearview window to deliver a package.

  @poastoak @Paultron @professionalbigot69 @D-Droid @Shadowman311 @sickburnbro you get a charter job and throw your back out loading the client’s daughter’s 130-lb bag, and your company refuses to cover it because technically your contract only says you pick up bags 50 lbs and under
  (they say you should have asked for help from FBO ground staff but you know doing so IRL would have gotten you an angry call from the CP afterwards)

  @Paultron @poastoak @professionalbigot69 @D-Droid @Shadowman311 @sickburnbro Yeah, that’s what spooks me about it. According to the fedregs, the captain is THE guy in charge. (as in the “ultimate authority in regards to all operations of the aircraft”, if memory serves) He’s the one who has to go and directly address stuff if it’s serious enough.
  If the niggs are getting too niggy on a flight, he’s the one who comes back to say “here’s the deal, you cut this shit out or we divert to the nearest airport and you deplane with the cops where they’ll sack you with a $25,000 fine to start while they see what charges to press.”
  It sounds like a nightmare to me, the boomers in the left seat these days don’t understand they’re one “uh did you just call me da NWor’?!?!“ away from being obliterated from employment

  @Paultron @poastoak @professionalbigot69 @D-Droid @Shadowman311 @sickburnbro Still cooking, big thing right now is that they’re trying to stanch the bleeding w/ onerous “training contracts” that lock you in. Just tried for one where they want you to sign a 5-year $100,000, non prorated deal. If you leave at any time before it’s up, they’re suing you for all six figures of that….3-day simulator training they provided you.
  Most aren’t so bad, but regionals are dying. Rumor has it MESA is about to keel over (if UAL[?] finally quits feeding them money) because they don’t have the pilots to use their fleet. Same with southwest, heard their contract negs are heated right now, company doesn’t care that 1/5th of its fleet is sitting idle at the moment.
  That’s just the latest from the water cooler though, IDK about details

  are they still trying to get anyone multi turbine rated for the regionals to feed up into the mainline carriers? or did that cool off already

  @Paultron @poastoak @professionalbigot69 @D-Droid @Shadowman311 @sickburnbro Sure, they’re issuing tons of bonuses to themselves. But from what I heard from the Mesa circle the company was losing….either 47M or a couple bil every quarter? And the guys were seeing that a TON of executive management jobs are listed in the company intraweb.
  Airlines can’t just operate in the red forever, only using a fraction of their fleet. I suspect there’s some kind of understanding between the execs, I know they can be complacent and just move to the next job, but the way the industry embraces all this “net zero by 2030/2050” nonsense makes me think they too are totally okay with making personal air travel a lot less common than it was in 2019. It’s like they’re content to watch a permanent decline, there’s little urgency to actually ensure the survival of the industry in 30 years.
  And the retirement cliff is less than a decade away. Best they got right now is bumping the 65 yo limit to 67…and ALPA’s fighting that every inch of the way (hilarious)

  @WashedOutGundamPilot @poastoak @professionalbigot69 @D-Droid @Shadowman311 @sickburnbro i'm p sure the hebrews at the airlines don't care beyond basic functionality even if they have to cut the schedule. they are loving doubling the price as a floor and still selling flights
  last one i booked left at 10 AM on a thursday. cheapest price all month was $800 direct round trip. departed with ~30 empty seats. that c-suite gotta be getting FAT. and hell, if this comes back to bite them- that's some other nigga's problem!

  @poastoak @Paultron @professionalbigot69 @D-Droid @Shadowman311 @sickburnbro Yeah, they have enough musical chairs to escape to in adjacent industries that performance doesn’t matter. That’s why I half consider this a subtle “controlled demolition”. They take their lumps now because they don’t want to get back to peak levels and beyond. They’re content with air travel for the common man being a rare treat, not a common tool.
  But that’s just me reading between the lines when I skim the newsletters every industry body sends me. They’re weirdly supportive of all the euro crap

  @WashedOutGundamPilot @poastoak @professionalbigot69 @D-Droid @Shadowman311 @sickburnbro i've been on the Mesa turboprops- don't think they have even a single billion to lose per quarter. things are grim aboard those bastards. the lower end sounds more realistic esp if UAL wants them to look like they take a loss for tax purposes as they feed their profitable Pac routes
  
  Maybe it's because I got used to daily flights in the covid days but it seems like there are more asses in seats than ever- most of the flights are full with standbys hanging by the gates. it seems like with price hikes and occupancy rates, it HAS to be profitable, right?

  @Paultron @poastoak @professionalbigot69 @D-Droid @Shadowman311 @sickburnbro Not when a huge amount of their fleet is sitting idle on the ground. The flights they ARE running are packed because they’re the only ones they have. Supposedly, if they were further staffed they could expand service by 30-40% from what I hear.
  I gotta find it, a few months ago I clipped a bunch of excerpts from the Regional Airline Association report a fren sent me. It has a bunch of scary metrics that basically show that the small carriers have shunted all their assets to the most profitable routes, and were cutting the ‘venules’ and ‘capillaries’ wherever possible because they can’t man the seats.
