Hotels used to be cheaper (at least in IAD) back in 2011 (~40) not so much now.

That seems to be everywhere. I was based in SFO for about a year and when I started there our crew rate was $45/night. By the time I left a year later the hotel had raised the rate to $70/night.

how do you go about finding/listing for the jump on fdx or ups. Never tried that before but sounds like it could be a life saver if all else fails.

Fedex: 866.357.5711

If you list on them, I believe you have to cancel if you aren't going to be able to make it. Don't do a no show.

One of try most important things about using a FedEx JS; if things change and you're no longer going to using them, CALL THEM AND TELL THEM SO.

Start here
Jumpseat Finder

Then call the number above. If you already know which flight you want then you can just call.

The difference between jumps eating on fedex vs aa/dl/us is that once you are booked the Jumpseat is yours, no one can bump you off even a fedex guy (well I guess faa could bump you). So you can consider it as serious as a missed assignment if you no show and you'll won't be able to use fedex again ever.
