For purple jumpseat info go to http://www.alpa.org/fdx/jumpseat/ There's a jumpseat finder and instructions for offline jumpseaters.

I have personally flown JFK-ATL-DFW several times but I don't think we do it every night? Call the FedEx jumpseat reservation number listed above and speak with them. They'll know what days we fly that route.

If we do it, it's in the middle of the night ... assuming you're with a CASS airline (you would have to be to j/s on FedEx) you might be better off with one of the passenger carriers schedules (you are, however, welcome on our jumpseat anytime as long as our "redeye" schedule suits your purposes).

FDX goes to both MSN and ATW, although it sounds like MSN would be more useful for your purposes.

I checked the UPS schedules and we don't operate ATL-DFW {edit: next week}, sorry. Call 1800-BAT-CREW (my pneumonic device) option 4 then 1 Scheduling/Jumpseat Desk. UPS uses Z time for everything so make sure you get your Z dates and times right. PM me if you need me to look up a specific flight. Happy Holidays.

UPS does ATL-DFW Mon-Thu night on normal weeks, leaves around 2200l

FDX does ATL-AFW Mon-Thu night on normal weeks, Leaves about 2320L. I think they still have the JFK-ATL-DFW run on Saturday nights.

We use Z time for all bookings, so make sure you get the right days. FDX used to only use Local time, but its been a few years since i worked there.
