FWIW I gave US Air/AA 2 weeks notice effective the day before my class started at UA. Everyone had a different opinion on how to handle it, several told me to get my seniority # at UA and then during a break walk outside and call and resign but thats not my style. I didn't want to sit in indoc and technically still be employed at another carrier.

Has anyone else taken this time?
I already had one foot out the door before the CJO. I was prepared to leave before the interview call came. The two months before the proposed date gives me time to clear some business items and really focus on class. If the class moves up or forward is of no concern, nor is pay. My only concern is how this is perceived by the new employer. The current employer will be given 4 weeks notice.
Thanks to all for the advice and perspective!

Does any airline out there offer "snap back" anymore? This is new to me, but my regional is also ghetto.
I know a friend who had a class date at a major so he quit my regional. On the day of class, he found out class was cancelled. He didn't get called back for years! When I finally get the chance to finally move on, rest assured i will be giving 2 weeks notice (no more), and there will be overlap of at least a day so I can always have the option to g back to my previous employer.

Do the right thing. For your family. Give them minimum possible notice. FedEx just had folks with CJOs in a pool for over 3 years. UPS recently cancelled classes 2-3 weeks from class date. AA has a 6+month pool. All of these things were driven by unforeseen events.
Family first.
Family first.

Min notice. Its what they would give you.
You have very little power as an employee, use what power you have over your schedule to guarantee the best outcome for your family.
If you can use vacation to get started someplace else, than do it.
