Let me ask you this then. Well...If company B on the field asked you to come aboard with them tomorrow and fly a trip tomorrow to fill in for a guy who left quickly or died and they told you were hired if you flew the trip would you take. Is that possible?

A company comes to me and offers me a job and they need me to start next week, do you take it? Because if you don't, you won't have the job. They don't care...Next person on the list please. If I am not making my bills, getting $50 of pay a week, and have nothing to do at this job but answer the phones for free...what would you do? Another staff member can easily pick up my flights, b/c there not doing much either. I just don't think I am getting my point across here. Giving 2 weeks notice I would if I could. If they called me and told me that I would start in 2 weeks, then yes. Most likely they won't. Sorry.

As for "putting stock" in another company. Yes, why not? People at my previous employers like me, saw that I worked hard, and thought I was a good person. Personal and professional letters of recommendation. How much are those worth? If you had great work history and one bad bump, would that affect the rest of your life? All my current employer sees me as is lazy, b/c there is nothing to do but answer the phones since there isn't enough work for me. I can't get out and be a go getter, b/c I have to be at work.

I have looked at it from his point of view. Again I told him that I was looking for other employment and asked him if he has any resumes on file. He told me that he has tons. I'm trying to soften the blow, but whats not to say that he gives me a bad reference b/c he thinks i'm lazy even if I gave him 2 weeks.
