Personally, while I admire the two-week notice, I wouldn't give one until you are sitting in class.
Case in point - A cargo guy gets a class at DAL. He does the "right thing" and turns in his two-week notice. Shortly after that, 9/11 happens and his class, scheduled for 9/15 is cancelled. He sends a request up the chain to say, "Please rescind (sp) my resignation." His request was denied and he was literally told - "Good luck with your career at Delta."
Did your friend at SWA get paid for the time during his notice?
a buddy of mine was hired at a major pre 9-11 and told them he was leaving but never gave a 2 weeks notice because he hadn't gotten a class date yet. he was lucky enough to stay, but that was at a regional.
thanks
