I put in my two week notice at SWA 6 months after I started indoc. The CP was upset, uptight, and his temper exacerbated an already uncomfortable situation. I was polite and apologized, explaining that I didn't see this coming, and after discussing it with my family we decided leaving for the other place was in our best interests. The rumor at the time was the CP would take your badge and show you the door if you put in your notice. I flew my last two weeks and as I stepped off the plane for the last time as a SWA employee I got a "random" drug and alcohol test.

I clearly remember the tone of the communications coming from the union were so much more critical of the company and certain individuals in management than I had ever seen from ALPA. I also remember one of those communications explained that the union suspected some random drug and alcohol tests were not random at all. I did communicate my story to them after the fact.

I called CS a few times during my last week explaining that I was not going to be able to fly any trips after (whichever) date because I was leaving and they wouldn't clear out my schedule. I don't know why that concerned me so much....
