Folks,

This industry is way too small to burn bridges. Someone you cussed out or screwed over or disrespected could end up being your boss at the dream job. Ethics an integrity may be the only things you have to hang your hat on.

As far as what is paid out to you upon leaving, talk to the union about how the process works. I don't know how it works here but at another airline they were required to pay any 'awarded' vacation but only 'accrued' vacation if you gave two weeks notice. Sick banks were not paid out at all. They're for when you are sick.
