Was hoping someone could help me out with some info.

If I plan on J/seating on you guys out of MEM, is there a place to park my car near by? Is there a certain street or area I should go to for an entrance for operations?

Thanks in advance.

First, call our jumpseat admin (assume you have the number?) and ask them. They'll tell you this:

Park in our main Democrat Ave lot. At the guard shack, show your ID, tell them you are jumpseating and ask for the parking code (a three digit number plus *). Drive straight, all the way back, and enter the number. Get on the clown (crew) bus and ride in with the rest of us clowns. That will take you to our Air Ops Center (the AOC) and security screening. The good folks there will take you from there.

If you have time to kill and get hungry, we do have a cafeteria, not just the vending machines there at jumpseat admin. Just ask.

Good luck. I like chocolate chip cookies...

Sorry, but one question, I promise. For future reference.

If one comes ino MEM over at the pax. terminal, is there a shuttle? Or just take a cab?

Thanks-

Assuming you're not in a big hurry, there is a FedEx bus that runs between the pax terminal and the AOC, but it's not on a regular schedule. I recommend that you go to the hotel phone in baggage claim, one of the choices is FedEx crew bus (or something like that). Call them ... they'll come and get you.

If you're in a hurry, take a cab ...

I think that quick phone call at the hotel phone is gone. I believe you need to call FedEx bus dispatch at the AOC. This bus will pick you up on the 3rd street over right in the middle of the terminal outside baggage claim. Bus dispatch number is 901-224-5487.

It was still there last month. It might not be at all the hotel telephone areas.

And don't forget, if you've never jumpseated with us before, to call Jumpseats 24 hours in advance to set up your "profile."

The physical address of the flt ops building is 3131 Democrat Rd, 38118 if you want to plug that into google maps. You'll see that the entrance to the employee parking lot as described earlier is at a traffic light across from the ANG entrance.
Good luck.
