Not my case a year ago. I gave them 6 weeks notice. I had a JD spill into the next month and they did not post it to my schedule in PBS for the following month. They then split the trip I had at the end of the month so that I would fly the first half on the weekend and then report for jury duty. It is a two week thing here and you typically go in a few times. I called the company and rep and was told to keep them posted and they would drop parts of the trip as needed. I ended up going in a few times and was released in time to fly the next trip.
Years past they just dropped whatever was on the two weeks, not so much now....
