No jumpseating on the Caravans?
Fascinating....
I guess many of them don't have 2 seats, though.

Not a matter of the seats not being there, its just not allowed!

In that case, it doesn't say much for management's confidence in the Caravan.
Mainline pilot's confidence either, LoL.
No particular criticism implied, I'm just a bit surprised.

I believe it has to do with the lease agreement that FedEx has with the Feeder operators. FedEx owns most of the planes the feeders operate. I'm not exactly sure the reasoning, but that's the way its always been!

Okay, thanks for the info.

MD11,

Were you able to get ahold of anyone?? If you haven't I believe the pilots show up around 5:30a.m maybe even 6 am

Leave probably around 6:30a.m or so.
