Be humble and calm when meeting with your soon to be ex employer. Be sorry for missing the urgent calls from the 135 coordinator. If you were "on call", you should have answered the phone or called back within 15 minutes maximum.
You "resigned" from this job a few months ago but now will be making it official.
Have fun at the new job. The change will be refreshing.
If you suspect that your current employer might be planning on firing you at the meeting, you should go in TODAY and hand in a written resignation. You do not want a termination on your record if you can avoid it.
Don't bust an attitude, be very respectful, but you want to beat the employer to the punch. If he fires you or asks you to resign FIRST, that would be considered resignation in lieu of termination...any future employer would count that as being fired.
