What's a "WO airline?"

Plabelover

I don’t know if you are roasting me but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. A WO is a wholly owned airline. There’s is three WO that are ran by AA when it comes to funds and whatnot

I had a similar situation. I had grass is greener syndrome with working at an FBO dealing with corporate aviation. When I interviewed it was a very positive experience. I knew I was gonna love working there. Or so I thought lol. Companies can be very deceiving looking from the outside in. Once I was on the inside it was horrible. Lots of nepotism, and favoritism towards incompetent employees. They eventually placed me on 3rd shift overnight and they knew I couldn’t work overnight because I told them that in the interview and they accepted it. But, 3 months later on the job they said hey, we’re sorry but, you have to work overnight now. I really really didn’t want to, as I had worked nights before at a previous job and it was horrible. I just got married during that time, but the wife and I didn’t have any kids. At the FBO job, I had a newborn at home, and working nights would absolutely not work with my wife’s work schedule and the baby. I tried to work up an agreement with them to no avail, so I told them straight up to go pound sound and quit. In hindsight, I wish I hadn’t done that. But a lot of that was a part of being young at the time. When I found another job shortly thereafter, it was actually much better for me and turned out to be a much bigger pay raise from the crappy FBO job. Helped me to finish up my commercial and CFI quicker. So sometimes a job may turn out to be good when it may not appear like that.

Only you know your situation, and only you know how bad things really are. But whatever you do, don’t rage quit. Not in this industry. It is hard to recover from that. I know from experience lol. It will definitely prevent you from getting hired there as a pilot. If you give them 2 weeks and say you found another job, they won’t care. It won’t prevent you from coming back to work there as a pilot. But that’s assuming you maintain a positive, professional image as a CFI and any other flying jobs you pick up before heading to the airlines.

I learned from jobs I hated. I hated being a janitor, but learned a lot about people. I was the best darn janitor on the team. I learned not to p*ss off the other team members. I was bored being a file clerk with Social Security the summer after I graduated high school. But I was so good, my boss’s boss made it a point to say she was very impressed with my work ethic, quantity, and quality of work.

I would not leave any airline on bad terms, if you ever think you might want to work there. In this case that includes all of AA + WOs, they are known to share HR info.

If you need to quit, do it. But first bust your butt and suck up for a few weeks or however long it takes to make them like you so you don't get anything bad in your record.

I'm not "roasting" you (that's not actually what a roast is), but had no idea what a WO airline might be, hence the question. Perhaps it was the teen-speak that threw me.

IGI (I got it) now.

What type of job IT (is this) that you have with the WO airline? Are you working there in a FCS (flying capacity, somehow)? GPOBHORR? (ground personnel or baggage handler or ramp rat)? When you say you're leaving on NSGOGT (not so good of good terms), what do you mean? If you're asking if you should give TWN (two weeks notice), that's one thing, but if you TASIRJE (threw a supervisor into a running jet engine), that's a HOADCE (horse of a different color, entirely). DM (details matter).

Try to leave all jobs on GT (good terms). It's been opined that your mission at any job is to get a GR (good recommendation), whether you're at a WO airline or not. It's a good idea to get a LOR (letter of recommendation) from every employer, before you leave.

Hehehehehe.
I didn’t know what WO was either.
Anyway, last time I checked you’re not obligated to take a job you didn’t interview for so WUWT ( what’s up with that )
Now we’ve established you’re at a Regional why not give it a 3-4 months then if it’s still not your COT ( cup of tea) then have a friendly chat with your supervisor and out of courtesy give them 4 weeks notice.
YPSNBTP ( your problem should not be their problem)

Make it point, for the two week period, to arrive at work 10 minutes early. Shouldn’t be a big issue.

Everybody in the regionals, or who's been in one in the last 20 years, or who works for AAG knows what a WO is. It is a term of art in that world. He wasn't just talking teen.

I appreciate the translation lol!
I was hired for payroll but they put me in the administrative office(think about crew scheduling, HR, customer Service, a secretary and badging all in one position)
for the NSGOGT question I guess if I fu*** up sometimes so bad and have to be let go(there’s so many things I can ******* up especially that I have no experience in a position like this)
