You resign immediately and offer two weeks if they want / need you to stick around. Not “I am going to resign in two weeks, here is my notice.”
Also, don’t take ANY sick time leading up to this or during the two week period. Your new chief pilot will get a phone call.
Why work those 2 weeks? Why risk your new job because of some event that could happen that could lead to a violation? Not worth it for a dream job. I just burned up my sick time and called them and said “I got my dream job and I resign effective today, thank you for your time”. BTW the same way I did it when I got hired at SW and they asked me to make a class in 3 days.
It is true nobody in the office is your friend. While we have a great CP we have one of the worst assistants in the system. The Beantown Bully….so keep it professional.
