You're correct Cujo-san.

You think the mental and physical requirements for JSing and operating are the same? Come on. If you go sick in the field of course you can JS home. Show me where this is in CBA?

The FEDEX Jumpseat Reservation System will allow you....now, from an FAA perspective it's my understanding that you shouldn't be....at least not up in the cockpit.

I have heard it debated both ways.

Below is the link to our FedEx Reciprocal Cockpit Offline Jumpseat (OJS) Guidelines. It's my belief that although this addresses offline guys, the same does apply to FedEx guys.

https://pilot.fedex.com/general/jump...idelines.shtml

Under #2. from this guide, it states that: "Only FAA certificated pilots and flight engineers will be eligible to utilize FedEx Express jumpseats. These crewmembers must be in an active status, i.e., not retired, furloughed, on a leave of absence, or in a sick or disability status."

As an added extra, I can tell you from my current experience that if you're in a disability status, you are completely taken out of both the FedEx jumpseat system as well as the CASS system, thereby making it impossible for you to jumpseat either online or offline, unless you find a non-CASS airline that would be willing to allow you their jumpseat, which would be against the FAR's I believe.

If CASS is messed up, there's no COCKPIT jumpseating. Jumpseating in the back of any passenger airline with a JS agreement is still possible. There are still a few companies out there that do not have CASS, but they still jumpseat - just gotta do it in the back, and not on FedEx.
