Default Fedex jumpseat dress code

It says jeans are ok online but are they really OK? Just don't want to look stupid.

I'm not really adding to the value of the thread by posting this, but if in doubt, it is always better to overdress than underdress.

I agree. Nothing says 'glad to be here' better than white socks, black shoes, grey slacks, and a wool waffle pattern jacket with a square bottom tie a la 1980's Jepp vids. Now that's tight! I know, not any help at all, sorry. I

The one time I jumpseated on FedEx, there were several jumpseaters on each flight. Only the operating crew and myself were in uniform. Everyone else wore jeans.

Jeans are fine... Comfy casual is OK with them.

The dress code is just what it states. You're more likely to be queried as to why you're dressed up if you show up that way!

I take it you probably think of a suit when referring to "dressed up." I don't think someone would question anyone for dressing as business casual. Just my thought.

You wouldn't get harassed or questioned, really, regardless. There is a good chance that someone would let you know that jeans are fine, though.

Do other airlines make you wear your pilot uniform if you jumpseat?

No, I can't think of any that do.

It's just business casual. Don't look like a slob.

I took them out to Vegas for the ALPA BOD in a suit, and nobody gave me any grief. Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable jumpseating in a pair of jeans, but then again, I'm one of those guys that still throws on a blazer when I non-rev. As long as you follow the listed dress code at least, you should be fine.

last I heard Fedex wasn't even allowing offline jumpseaters. Has that changed?

FedEx has allowed offline jumpseaters for a couple of years now. UPS, ABX, and Astar also.

If they say something's okay, then it's okay.

This is kind of like the "can I log flight time if I do such and such." The answer is, if it says in the policy that you can do something, they you can do it.
