That's not true...I will be happy to debate this with you and you will lose. I had a multiple day jury duty mailed and received after scheduled posted...it was for duty in less than three weeks. Alerted the CPSC and was told to bring it in next time through and no big deal...missed the opportunity to get it to the office and the next trip through but did the following time. Was contacted by the CPO and asked when did I receive the notice and why did I not bid around it? After being scolded on the topic, I informed him of the post mark and reception period...crawfishing ensued and was told that they would "consider it"...when contacting them the next week in regard to whether or not I was going to be covered, I was told that two of my four day trip was PD'd and that they were not going to pay me. When I asked about being covered if chosen for jury duty, I was told that I WOULD be covered due to it being a situation out of my control. I spoke with DALPA folks on the phone and was told that this was a NEW part of the contract. To my own fault, I discovered an article in either the ROAR or WIDGET that spoke of this change. The point of my diatribe is to let other folks know that you better get the notification in ASAP...the sooner the better. The CPO is NOT looking out for pilots ALL THE TIME...
