For all of you who thinks that the CA "owns" the jumpseat I would recommend reading the People Manual 7-47. Pretty in depth chapter about jumpseat priority and an offline jumpseater is below a pilot commuting, regardless of who they happen to be married to. Also a little section about when and why a CA can remove a jumpseater, and it's not for their spouse to have a seat. I would say the People Manual makes it pretty clear that FedEx owns the jumpseat and there are clear policies regarding it's use.

If her and her husband are both major airline captains and Fur Rendezvous is that important to them, they could afford to buy him a ticket. Can't believe anyone would trust that person's judgement and belive they would be looking out for anyone's interests other than their own. Talk about self absorbed.
