Since no one has posted an answer to this yet, here is my trivial answer. Generate a regex for each time-zone and apply it to due_date

Something like this:

re = Regexp.new('ADT|AKDT|AKST|AST|CDT|CST|EDT|EGST|EGT|EST|HADT|HAST|MDT|MST|NDT|NST|PDT|PMDT|PMST|PST|WGST|WGT')
ans = @job.due_date.to_s re

Should parse out the timezone for you to save.
