| 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. ![]() |

| 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. |

| 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.

| 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.

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

| Old Skool | 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. |
