There are certain things that will raise flags when I'm screening resumes. One of them is a short stay at a company that pays for advanced training (such as a type).
If you agreed verbally to a set period of employment, I would like to think that you would keep your word. But there are certainly a lot of guys that don't... as a result training contracts end up being requested.
Just remember that the industry is a small world- particularly that outside of the airlines. A good friend and experienced pilot once told me some advice that has served me well:
Remember that the toes that you're stomping on today (by burning bridges), might just be attached to the *ss you'll be kissing tomorrow.
I started training in January. 7.4 hrs total training in a C402. I have flown 270 hrs for them since. I don't want to burn bridges, but I don't want to sell myself short either.
I will be giving at least two weeks notice, and I don't think anyone will take it personally. I love what I do and will most likely be going to a similar operation - except that it offers double my pay within 6 months of hire, health insurance, 3 days off a week, turbine PIC, aircraft to upgrade into, and someone else loads the freight for you. How do I pass that up?
