A better question might be now to start contemplating is: Would the individual now be better off re applying at United and starting at the bottom or sticking it out at the new carrier. It would seem the individual appears to think UAL is prefferable one of the two.
I am curious as to why just days later they think they made the wrong call......and what would say months later they wouldn't change thier mind again? Its a very dynamic industry, fleet and growth plans can change, domeciles open and close all in a New York Minute.
Scenarios like this (while confusing to 50 and 60 year olds) are likely going to increase in volume in the coming years as a matter of generational habit/preference/ and general indecisiveness.
This is incorrect. So long as they have not reached their date of resignation or been told by the company they are already terminated, they have not been removed from the seniority list and can therefore rescind their resignation and keep their seniority number.
And before you say, it not written in the UPA, there is already precedent for it. Now, that being said, a probationary pilot can be let go for for any reason and the company can let them go anyway.
