How would Pokey "get in trouble" and be denied the jumpseat? The bus driver is supposed to look for an ID when you get on. If Pokey's airline ID is good enough for the bus driver, he rides. If his ID isn't acceptable because it's not FedEx, he doesn't ride, says "my mistake" and grabs a cab to AOC. Either way, his airline ID gets him through the parking lot security gate. Jumpseat admin doesn't play in either event.
I've seen offline jumpseaters on the FedEx bus to or from the terminal several times. And they ride a FedEx bus to/from the Democrat lot anyway. No different.
