If checking in for the Jumpseat in MEM they will make you shave it off or you are not going. I had to give a guy one of my razors once so he could go, went in the men’s restroom in Jumpseat area and came out clean shaven. Then he was able to check in.

Aghast? Seem like a little much. He is simply asking questions. Better he do that now then just show up with a beard and golf clubs and expecting to be fed. Let’s not get offended so easily for people just talking and asking questions. Let’s try to give each other a little grace please?
As for the golf clubs, sorry, I don’t know the answer to that question.

You can bring golf clubs, people do it, but there are a couple caveats.
Jumpseat Finder
Reference the prohibited items list and look at note 2.

Question regarding parking at a FDX outstation. I would be commuting out of BNA. I noticed a relatively large parking lot, that is mostly empty in the front of the hangar. No signage about employees only, or anything of that nature. Would it be pretty standard to allow for a jumpseater to park there a few days?
I know every facility is different, just curious if this is a close to similar situation as some other facilities.

Hopefully a BNA guy will chime in but you can call the ramp office and explain your situation and hopefully they can help. 615.367.8620

I have my Covid beard going, trimmed, but still a beard... I assume clean shaven is a must?
Still catered? Or should I plan on bringing a sandwhich/snacks? Depending on my destination it may be a 3 leg trip, or 2 legs for an airport an hour away.
Thanks

No beards. Maybe you can get away with a fu-manchu mustache, but it might cause 'stashe envy, since we are not allowed anything other than neatly trimmed mustaches.
No catering for jumpseaters on domestic flights, BYOF. Wish we could feed you, but that's how it goes domestically for off-line, and our own, jumpers. You can have water and/or drinks from our cooler, and coffee.
Bring your golf clubs, they will be placed in belly cargo - "transported in an enclosed container (hard-case recommended for liability reasons) however, soft case is allowed. Must be stowed in an inaccessible compartment..."
