FDX - AOC to the Gucci Bldg?

Anyone know the best way to get from AOC to the Gucci Building with no commuter car availble, do we have a shuttle or does one of the hotel shuttles give us a lift? Thanks.

yes, I believe the normal shuttle will take you there if you tell them that's where you need to go when you call.

Same shuttles that take you to the parking lot and the Falcon building, or the airport shuttle?

You might try asking your ACP since that's what they're there for

but here's the info you're looking for in case you're not on speaking terms with them.

Parking is adjacent to the AOTC (Gucci), and regularly scheduled Argenbright bus transportation is available from 07:00 till 23:59. "On call" service (Argenbright dispatcher: 224-5487) is available from 00:00 till 06:59. The bus route covers the Democrat Parking lot, the AOC, the Greenway Training Bldg., and the Air Operation Training Center, but not local hotels.

With Sprucie on this one. I never really considered that the normal shuttle was an option or even considered asking my ACP. Always considered it my responsibility to get where I needed to be for training in Memphis by whatever means necessary.

Thanks for the info... training logistics just got a little easier and cheaper.

So much riff raff hanging around the Gucci building these days! Almost as bad as when I had to slum over at the old training building!

Not a big deal. The regular shuttle out in front will take you over and pick you up when finished. I've gone several times for a jog to get off the streets around the airport.

Thanks

The regular shuttle will take you. You should have seen the look on the driver's face when I asked to go to the Gucci Bldg. You would have thought I asked her to take me to the Purple Church.

Anyway those of you that fly with three big motors and of course those in the sim with two really big motors know its official name and that's all it takes.
