Two weeks notice is the industry standard. I understand feeling obligated to a company that treats you well, but you are trying to land a multi-million dollar career.
Ask your friend how much money and seniority he is willing to give up to help out his company, because the end result is permanent.
Also, first year pay isn’t poverty wages.
If anything, ask to get into an earlier class!
Yes. Take this and Zap’s advice.
When I was hired at NW Airlink in 1996, upgrades were a year. Great. We had a lot of out stations along with our two main bases of Memphis and Minneapolis. Coming up on the year mark, they closed all the out stations, along with Minneapolis. The last class to upgrade when this happened was, you guessed it, the one class before me. I sat F/O for two more years.
Don’t ever pass up seniority. Give two weeks if you can. Even if you can’t, try to work out something to leave earlier. Do it.
