I could see you getting your chaps in an uproar if someone got hired with a DUI on their record. But a disgruntled boss over a situation like the on here? That's just silly, and any HR department worth their salt should recognize it as such.

You might call it arrogant, but I do think that I'm "better" than most pilots. Graduated "Harvard of aviation" in just over three years with honors, was on the National Champion Flight Team. Check airman and instructor at my regional.... etc. Still no call. I'm sick of it, seeing newbies with far fewer quals getting the call to DAL, while I waste my talents flying the RJ for thousands of more hours.

I don't know if it helps, but a lot of 135 places fire people when they put in two weeks notice. It seemed like it was standard ops for awhile. I got fired the day I put in my two weeks and so did some of my friends (at different companies). I guess what I am saying is it not that uncommon a practice and HR people are probably in the know.
