You should get paid for the whole trip...but...be forewarned...you must notify the CPO "IMMEDIATELY" if you get a jury notice. I was burned on this last year and lost a grand!!!! New wording in the contract allows for the office to determine if you notified them in time...calling the CPSC doesn't constitute notification....

On another note...anyone ever get a training memory stick without and information on it? I have one that I've tried on two separate computers, one PC and one Apple, and cannot see any files on the stick...just another in the list of trials that I am encountering changing aircraft....its like I'm stuck in a Mad Dog Vortex!!!

You get paid for the whole trip. Seems like it is harder to get them to drop the entire trip though. In my case, they dropped part of the trip and told me to call in if my jury duty got extended.

Immediate notification has always been required when you get a jury duty notice. What changed in the last contract was how we get paid. If you get the notification in time to have it posted to your schedule prior to the PBS run you get a fixed amount per day. If you are notified after PBS has been run you will be paid for missed trips.

FYI... It doesn't look like the mobileIcrew puts a time date stamp on your schedule...

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...

There are bad memory sticks that are issued. They will send a new one...

So when is that widebody order coming out?? I saw that Virgin 787 in the ATL .... What's up with that? Used to be our flight

Does anyone have any more information about this accident? I've done some searching, but there's not anything available--at least that I can find…

I don't know what happened to the 330NEO they told Airbus to build. Recent comments from RA indicate it's down to the 787 and A350. I'm sure they are looking very closely at the performance of the 787-900 that VA is flying to ATL, no coincidence I'm sure... you know guys with DAL I.D.'s and khakis are probably all over that thing every time it lands-- looking at MX, fuel burn, pax and ground handling issues. I'd be very surprised if an order doesn't come in the next 3 weeks.
