Hello,

So I'm in a fortunate position of having 2 CJOs, 1 is for an airline I really am looking forward to flying for, but the problem is that the next available course date could possibly be in Q3/Q4. The other CJO is for a new start-up airline that I have no longterm plan to stay at for my career, however I am likely to be offered a course date in the next month or so.

It appears unusually common for people to leave during training or shortly after, but I'm a bit concerned that it isn't the best look and I wouldn't want anything to jeopardize my shot at the other airline later in the year. Has anyone personally gone through this themselves or has any insight into it? I have always been very straight with my previous employers, but having to wait till the end of the year for a course date when I could be training and possibly flying for a few months for the start-up makes financial sense to me, I just would hate for it to raise any concerns with the major airline that I want to go to, as I'm aware it doesn't look great from an 'integrity' point of view and even may create suspicions of training difficulties...etc

Generally I wouldn't worry about leaving (with reasonable notice and any training bonds satisfied) if you're going to a career destination airline.

But as you say lots of people do it these days, regardless.

Bird in the hand comes to mind.
Take the earliest class date, there is no garantee the 3-4 quarter will happen.

This x1000. Go get a number at Airline A and then go to Airline B when they get you a date. Don't over think it. Good luck.
