Hopefully the case will be minor and completed in the same day if you're selected. The second time I was selected was to be the alternate juror on a minor case involving high speeds, and it ended in a mistrial due to the prosecution/law enforcement bringing up a drug test that was apparently verboeten.

The first time I was selected was for this case: https://www.mercurynews.com/2014/03/07/redwood-city-man-who-molested-a-dozen-boys-sentenced-to-life-in-prison/

I'm not sure defense lawyers will want pilots on the juries any more than they would want engineers. I have been dismissed from jury pools on five different occasions. The last time I was called I had just turned 75 and it interfered with my prepaid reservations on the Gulf so I used my prerogative as a super senior.
