Thanks.
Firstly, don't be in a rush to notify the PSC or the flight office. Your duty isn't till the end of October.
I generally do jury duty once every year. As a rule I usually don't notify the company until about 2-3 days prior to the event.
Might I suggest that perhaps you could find yourself in a position where 2 closely spaced 4day trips could easily replace that 3day trip in your line. There are no restrictions on your ability to trade until you notify.
Please remember that this is a negotiated benefit and you are entitled to be paid for ALL dropped trip due to jury duty.
