Leaving One Major for another: Need advice
 
What would you do, If you just started training with one Major (Legacy) and are awaiting a class date from another Major (Legacy). Both offer junior basses in your hometown (the first one farther away than the later Legacy from your home) however your first choice of Legacy is the later, which hasn't offered a class date but is expected to in 1.5 months.

Options:
1) Would you continue new hire training at your current Legacy until a class dates is offered at the one you want to be at.
2) Would you resign asap and just wait it out without a job until the Legacy of choice calls for a class date.

I know there are no guarantees unless you are in class with an employee #, hence I would prefer to stay at my current new legacy as I await a firm class date from the legacy of choice. Don't know how I would handle the thanks but no thanks.

If anyone has experienced such an event, please share what you did or if you can please PM me.

Any additional comments appreciated.

Thanks!

No question, option 1. Why wouldn't you?

Did you seriously just ask if you should stay employed versus unemployed until your dream legacy gives a class date? Is that a serious question? Why would you quit before getting a class date in hand?

Option 1 is what I am thinking....but that would mean that I would be through ground school and possibly 3/4 way through sim training before saying thanks, but no thanks. Just trying to find out the best way to handle the transition if it comes to it.

Why don't you offer specifics since you want an answer to a specific question? You'd get better answers if you did.

Received Job offers at both United and Delta. Got offered a class at United first, however would like to be at Delta. Delta's class offer will take 1 to 1 1/2 months. Both offer NY bases.

You'll be doing everyone a favor if you leave in the middle of class. You'll be my personal hero.

I'm beginning to doubt you'll pass the psych eval....

But seriously, stay employed.

If you have a job and class date at Delta just take it. Why go through ground school/sim just to quit? if you don't have a firm date, take the job you have.
