Default Being fired after resignation !?!

Happy holidays guys!

I am confuse about something...
I got a job with a regional at the end of November and resigned right away from my current 135 company.
My last day was supposed to be the first week of January 16.

Now my DO wants to fire me because He wants to let me fly during my hard day off and I am opposing to that.
Can he actually fire me after I already resigned?

How would that come out and look on the pria?

He did not received the pria yet. I am starting my class with the new company at the end of January.

Thanks for your answer!

Merry Christmas

Did you submit a letter of resignation with a paper trail via email?

No. Our 135 Ops is pretty small. 3 pilots (one of them is me, the other one is the owner/DO) and a dispatcher. I told them in Person.

You are screwed then. He can burn you on your PRIA by stating that you are not eligible for re-hire. That will follow you around for the rest of your flying career.

Poor guy don't watch enough Judge Judy. EVERYTHING must be done in writing! Now just bend over and fly your days off while you type up your resignation..

The regionals are hurting so bad for pilots now they won't care about an old disgruntled boss, as long as you don't lie about it.

But DAL, UA, AA, SWA, FDX and UPS will! Hate for him not to get hired at a major because his PRIA shows that he was fired from his 135. Way too many major candidates with squeaky clean PRIAs than to worry about one's sob story about how his 135 "screwed" him.

I'd contact your new employer ASAP and make sure they know and that you still plan on being there for class as scheduled.

Do you have a printed schedule showing your 'hard day off'?

If you have the paperwork to back up your refusal, IMO, you'd be OK.

If not you're in a gray zone.

If you're still working there you didn't resign. Think about that for a second...you gave notice two months prior. You didn't resign. Nice of you to do that but you could have waited.

No, he will do 3-5 clean years at a regional, and the majors won't give a squat that his boss a few years back fired him for not working on a day off. There are plenty of guys with more than 1 pink slip and DUI's, or fired from a shady 135 getting on at majors these days, let's not act like they still only take the best of the best.
