Your hypothetical choice is noted. Our choices differ though. I'd expect the majority here to choose something other then altruistic seppuku though. Sure, many (including myself) might then seek other opportunities (and on 2 weeks notice too), but liquidation isn't likely. AA might have a rapid pilot loss to contend with.
When that happens, it sounds like it's something you'll simply have to deal with.
