> The Amazon Prime Air Boeing 767 cargo plane that crashed off a Miami runway on Sunday, killing five people, was operated by a North Carolina company that has been accused by past employees of violating safety regulations, legal documents reveal.

There's a lot in the article, but this allegation is worth highlighting:

> Seuring's attorney, Michael Anello, told the judge that another 21 Air pilot, Johnny Salmonson, "was being pressured to fly in periods of time that were too short to comply with the proper amounts of rest, and that implicated safety. The layovers were too short."

Ahh, so the Amazon delivery contractor squeeze but the air cargo version, with the air cargo corporate entity shielding Amazon from liability.

We'll see if the NTSB mentions piss bottles in the cabin.

I don't really see how it's possible since the plane probably has a lavatory for the pilots.

		Maybe those were taken out so that the plane was capable of carrying more packages.
