J/S ANC to MIA

Hey guys, just a quick question about J/S’ing out of ANC. I’m a FedEx guy jumping on Atlas for the first time. I’m listed
on the J/S Friday morning from ANC to MIA. Do we show 1 hour prior to take off? Where exactly do I go to catch the J/S in ANC?
If someone has the address, that would be great. Thanks in advance and I appreciate the hospitality.

Show 1 1/2 hrs prior to departure at 6300 Boeing Ave, Anchorage, AK 99502. It’s the DHL building.
When you enter the building you should see a digital call button with camera. Just ding them, I’m sure they’ll take care of you from there.

In addition to what ak said…once they buzz you in they probably won’t tell you where to go. Drop your bags in the small luggage room first room on the right when you get through the locked door. Go up the stairs and the first door on the right there takes you into the room everybody meets. Kind of a flight planning/pilot lounge area.

Opposite end of that 2nd floor hallway is ops…if you have any questions and there’s no pilots in the lounge area there will be somebody in ops.

Not to be a pain, I’d show a little earlier.
Heres why:
Wake up is ETD -3hrs
Van pick up ETD -2hrs
Which means (generally) at the latest we’re in the crew room at ETD -1.5
If the plane is ready and the Capt is looking for an early go or it’s go home day you might miss the crew.
So I’d recommend to be at Ops 2 hrs prior.

I don't believe the one hour domestic report time has been implemented yet.

Unfortunately, not good! Did not make it on either flight, plus 2 trips to the Atlas ramp for nothing. Ended up taking FedEx home. The first flight was delayed by 12 hours or more and unfortunately I was not notified and showed up to ramp for nothing. The second I was told they could only take 3 J/S, something to do with your contract, but again, I was not notified until I got to the ramp. It is what it is! Truthfully, it’s hard to rely on FedEx to get me to work or home these days. Probably won’t try it again, too many variables. I do appreciate all the info I got on this BB.
