> The comparison you meant

No that’s not what I wrote.

You don’t buy a jet outright and forget about the supplier - you’re eternally reliant on their service, certification, parts, etc, as regulation is so high.



Yes but you are comparing to having a datacenter vs removing the datacenter completely. In this example FedEx has removed the datacenter completely, instead relying on someone else’s servers. So the correct comparison is to remove the jets and let someone else fly for you.


> So the correct comparison

That may be your comparison but it’s not the one I meant.


I should have said the more appropriate comparison rather than phrasing it rudely as I did; sorry for that.
