Know a dude who tried that at another airline....when they found out he was on leave to get his training done, but still on active duty they were none too pleased. He was shown the door and asked to never apply again. I believe his "plan" was to get his training done and then claim he was on mil orders; that or try to get off active duty as quick as possible.

Now, if you're in the process of retiring and have orders I wouldn't blame a guy for taking as early a class as possible (use some leave for the indoc) and then use the time before training to put in those 9 or 10 days before going on terminal leave. HOWEVER, what if they say your training starts three days after indoc? (plug in my indoc class had all of three days off before his 5-6 weeks of training started). Before accepting the early class I would make sure AK understood the situation and gave his blessing.
