Sierra, fax your summons to the CPSC. They'll drop/pay you for a trip that conflicts with your jury duty.

Like I said, this is not always the case. They may just drop the last day of your 4 day if day 4 is the when your jury duty starts.

Narrow bodies are replacements for retiring 757 and 320's. Neutral to Negative "growth".

When do the wide bodies arrive?

In my home state, hopefully in yours, when they send you jury duty notice, they give you a date that you are obligated.

When I get the new notice with Chriatmas week, I send that to the company and Walla, no workie on Christmas week. The big bonus is that no lawyer or judge is going to work that week either and you never get called.

I've been called 4 out of the last 5 years. I was so tired of it I was thinking of buying a black sharpie and drawing a Charlie Manson swastika on my forehead the next time I got called. Now I hope I get the letter so I can try your technique. That is brilliant if it works.

Thank you all for the feed back! I'm wondering how the company will handle the summons, it states JD from 19 Aug - 06 Sept! I will report back tomorrow with details.

I hope it works the same in your home state...It turns jury duty notice into a bonus vacation week.

83 hrs of straight res flying and I still had 2 days of CQ on top of that.

thank goodness for the cq or id been out on a 4 day instead of a 3 day helping to keep hiring to a minimum.

I wonder what alv+15 cost in upgrades and hiring?

What is the staffing per plane on the 330's and 777's?

Be careful. It doesn't always work. I tried it in CA a few years ago and they gave me the week before Christmas making me available to fly over Christmas. Got jammed with a four day and missed the whole thing.
