FedEx does not consider jumpseating as part of our duty limits. This is a common misunderstanding. It simply is used to project a "notional" duty day exclusively for the commuter protection clause. This has absolutely ZERO to do with your duty day as applied to contractual and FAR limits. In other words, you are perfectly legal in every sense to jumpseat into a duty period of any length, you just don't necessarily fall under the "protected" clause. Meaning you're like every other commuter at every other airline in those cases.
