Go to alpa.org and sign in. Select Jumpseat Committee under Committees. Click "Jumpseat guide," then scroll down to FedEx and you will find a link for their jumpseats. It will have all the info you need to know.

The above post is absolutely correct, and I might add that all the FedEX crews are great and really helpful.

Just two things to think about. Because it is a confirmed seat, I've heard they really frown on last minute cancellations or no shows. So make sure you have time to make the show time. The other thing is, you will be up all night. I usually get home at 0600. So sometimes it's better to just stay at base, get some sleep, and take the first flight out in the morning, which gets me in at 0930.

With that said, it is a GREAT alternative, especially if flight loads look terrible.
