As most of you know, I've been going to school for over a year now with the goal of becoming a FAA licensed aircraft mechanic. Because the school is governed under the rules in FAA Federal Air Regulation part 147, class attendence is closely monitored and documented. Any missed class time, for any reason, must be made up, hour for hour.
About two weeks ago I got a notice for jury duty. I wrote a letter to the judge/court requesting to be excused. I explained my enrollment in school and how due to FAA regulations any class time I missed, I would have to make that class time up. A full day of jury duty would take me the better part of a week to make up the class time. One of my instructors, who is also a FAA mechanic examiner, wrote a letter verifiing my claims and explained that missed class would create a hardship for me.
Well I got home yesterday and had a message on the machine saying the judge refused to excuse me!!
So this is what may end up happening:
1- I get stuck with a week long or more trial and miss an unmake-up-able amount of class.
2- I fail the semmester because of FAA attendence rules
3- I lose almost $4,000 in tuition & fees that in effect get flushed down the toilet.
4- I have to start the 2nd semester over again a year from now paying 100% of everything out of my own pocket
5- Endure another year of unemployment and no job.
6- I loose out on $35,000+ first year wages because any possible employment got pushed back at least a year.
OR
I tell the judge to kiss my arse and throw me in jail for contempt cause I don't give a sh*t cause he's an insensitive moron and he ruined my life
OR
I get a lawyer and sue the court/judge for financial damages, mental anguish and whatever. Is suing a court/judge even possible??
Suggestiions??????
