FedEx Feeder Jumpseats? ESC or MQT

[bustinmins]

Hey Gang,

I doubt it this is even a possibility but I thought I'd ask the question anyway.

I'm needing to get to Escanaba, MI this weekend and I heard that FedEx Feeders feed that city. I'm just curious which company it is. If jumpseating is allowed by FedEx crewmembers and if so, how does one go about signing up for the jumpseat?

Please give me a shout via PM or reply here for all to see.

Thanks in advance.

No Jumpseating on FEDEX feeders. It is stupid but it is the rule. Crap feeder pilots can't even jumpseat on Fedex or on other feeder companies

Well that sucks! Thanks for the info - I figured this would be the case since I didn't see any feeder companies on our approved list.

I wonder why they do that? It doesn't make much sense to me but then ....not much does.

Does Skyway/Midwest Connect still fly there? They are usually good about getting jumpseaters on.

Skyways serves ESC, SAW, and IMT(at least for now). Mesaba and Eagle both fly into SAW as well.

We are a feeder and we allow people to jumpseat on our ATR and F-27 aircraft, but I don't think that it is allowed on the 208s.

I think Skyway will be serving these cities for a little longer---early 2008
Lakes is taking over, but are slow to get yhings up and going--
