Default Fedex/UPS question

One question I have about flying for a major cargo airline (and no, it is not a deciding factor for whether or not I shoot for cargo or passenger), is how do the jumpseats work? Can you jumpseat on other airlines like passenger airline pilots? Does your family get to fly free? Do you get buddy passes?

Also, are new hires put in the 727 2nd officer position?

Does ID90 fares include international flights? That could save me a bundle sending my wife home to NZ to see her family!!

That's correct, 90% off the FULL fare. Usually once per year per airline. Although not a bad deal, if you can plan 2-3 weeks in advance then tickets are almost as cheap and they are POSITIVE SPACE instead of SPACE AVAILABLE.
