Completely agree that jurors are often treated poorly by public officials who see their positions as jobs.
But where should we get the money to make a juror "whole?" Or perhaps we should only select jurors from the homeless?
Back to the topic: FedEx just announced it will begin fishing from the same pool as DAL and the other majors. It's a good time to be a pilot. Here's to hoping you all spend a very short time in the pool before you're on the stringer with us!
