What about the Fedex bus that runs from ops to the airport terminal? Does that run at all hours of the day or just during daytime only? Do you have to call someone to get on it?

In case you get to the lot and cant find a bus, the number is 901 224-5486. Good luck.

Also, there is a phone in baggage claim that has links to the local hotels, ground transportation etc. There is a number on that phone for the fedex bus as well, just tell them you're at the pax terminal and they will come pick you up! When you get on the bus tell the driver if you are going to the Democrat lot or AOC. Easy as that.
Once you learn the process it's not that bad, the first time can be a little confusing.

Make sure you get the gouge from the bus driver on exactly where my career is headed...so we'll have something of substance to talk about on our way.

Trying to build the mental picture for ya here. As you get off the crew bus, you will see a chain link fence/building to the left. Go through those doors and it's std apt security with the j/s security nazi's straight ahead. they will verify that you are listed, give you yellow tags to verify that your bag was screened, after making it through the security annex, hang a left turn and you will see the actual check-in counter. And they want to "see" the bags to make sure they are tagged.

If it's a late breaking reservation for ya, the security nazi's won't let you pass until you get a printout from the check-in girls.

Good luck, and hope we can help you out. Barring the beginning/end of the week commute in, usually have seats open.
Just follow the crowd............

Can someone confirm/deny whether jeans and tennis shoes with a collared shirt are still acceptable for offline? I was told recently by a captain that he would be okay with it for that day but I should not be in jeans.

Not saying that Captain can not have his own "dress code" the short answer is yes, blue jeans are OK. See the info posted here.

I agree with 4a2b ... jeans are fine, as is almost any collared shirt.

No T-shirts, NO shorts, No flip flops

And no high heels, like the 6" stilettos that Mayday Mark has been seen in.
