For everyone with jury duty:

In my home state, hopefully in yours, when they send you jury duty notice, they give you a date that you are obligated. It also says if you cannot do that date, write in the date you can, send it back and they'll make that your jury duty week. Every time I write in Christmas week and they give it to me. 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.

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?

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.

I have to throw the BS flag on this post, the 4 aircraft named have always been rumored as has the Aug order date.

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?
