Of the 8 people on board the airplane, 3 of us were in uniform...myself and the working crew. The other guys were in polo shirts and jeans. Some even had sneakers on.
I plan on using FedEx quite a bit more as they are the easiest way for me to get from the paradise that is the West Coast to the Sewer. I plan on being in uniform as I will be reporting for work. I'll get the opinion from the crews I ride with. FedEx is awesome. You guys treat offline guys great. The ride (and subsequent rides) were much appreciated and I look forward to using you guys again. You're always welcome on XJT...anytime!
FedEx pilots jumpseating on FedEx aircraft are allowed to wear clean, nice jeans and tennis shoes.
I would not show up like that though if I were from another airline, nor should we show up like that to ride on yours. Our policy is business casual or uniform for offline jumpseating or deadheading, unless the carrier requires something more restrictive.
