Anybody have an experience jumpseating on a FedEx 757? Comfy? I can't imagine it's as nice as their DC-10s. Trying to decide whether to utilize FedEx or Southwest for my vacation.

Bench in the back with 4 seats. If it's just me, I can lay across and get a good nap. With four people, it might be annoying, but still much better than not making it home.

I'm pretty sure it's just 3 seats. They do not recline any significant amount. Some of the 75's are very cold in the jump seats. Something about the way the heat is ducted.

Definitely not as nice as the DC-10s, but those 75's have gotten me home many nights.

Maybe it's three, anything more than 2 is a bed for me.
 
Was just in one last night. Three seats, heat was ok once the door was closed. No recline.

Crew was nice enough to have their ground transport drop me at the terminal on the way to their hotel.

Zero complaints.

Would choose over SWA in a heartbeat depending on when / where you're trying to travel.

This can't be repeated enough for the FedEx 757.

It can get cold back there. Enough so that they usually stock some blankets for the jumpseaters.

Some?! They packed enough blankets on that thing to build a fort! However, like others have said, they were much needed (for warmth - not for protection from an advancing military).

So.... Did you build a fort? Or is that frowned upon?
