This way it sounds like you are dedicated to your employers, and while you are very excited about starting with the airline, you don't want to hang your current employer.
Thanks for the advice, I think that's how I'll approach that phone call. Hopefully, they're understanding. If not, it is quite possible that in 3 months I will be without my current job or an airline job
