Default FDX MEM JS questions

I am an offline jumpseater headed into MEM next week. Had a few questions. Are there any rental car options at 1am when the flight lands? If I get someone to pick me up where can they do that at? The AOC on democrat or do I need to go somewhere in particular? Just trying to work out the logistics. I also considered just staying at a hotel until the morning and then grab a rental car. What hotels pick up at the hub and provide a decent airline rate? Thanks for the info.

Not sure if any of the MEM airport car rentals are 24hr. If you need a hotel, I recommend the airport Marriott Courtyard. They will pick you up at AOC (hub).

If you had someone pick you up at the AOC (our flight ops), it's unlikely they could drive into where the AOC is. However, there is a parking lot immediately outside the security gate where they could wait for you and it's only a 5 minute walk for you ...

I thought the hotel van would come all the way to the AOC door.?

Best bet for rental car answer is to call the local Memphis location (901 area code) and ask them if they have any special procedures/arrangements for late arriving pilots at the Fedex location on Democrat.

Pretty sure that either Hertz or Avis right there on Democrat are 24-hours and they can get into the AOC lot to pick you up outside of the AOC Bldg.

The gate guard will let a friend through to pick you up. They just have to show an ID.

Another question. How many JS are available on the 777?
