Commuting flight attendants are able to request to be released from a reassignable day on the day before they are scheduled to attend jury duty service if they are concerned about being in place for jury duty. Commuters, please request this when calling FAST to update your schedule.
If you are a commuter and you were reassigned a trip which conflicts with your ability to be in place for jury duty, please contact your supervisor. Your supervisor will determine if the conflict is legitimate and, if so, will advise FAST to drop the trip as unpaid. A flight attendant cannot request to have the trip dropped as unpaid. This must be requested by the supervisor.
