Exactly, it should be outlined somewhere. There may even be a section in your contract.

Give two weeks. Don't be surprised, especially if there's no contract, if you're asked to quit immediately. I wouldn't quit. Stay the two weeks. If they ask you not to come in that's up to them if the contract allows it.

A review of state law might help to see if you're entitled to the last two weeks of income earning potential.

It's pretty sad to hear some employers would be so salty after a resignation. I emailed the chief pilot saying this would be my 2 weeks notice and thanked them for the oppurtunities and great experiences the company afforded me. After, i was pleasantly surprised to receive emails from the cp, and all assitant chief pilots wishing me well and thanking me for the good work i had done.

Maybe they were just happy i wasn't their problem anymore!

What happens if you're about to go on an assignment? TDY? To school? While in school? IOE?

Sometimes from the company's perspective it's just easy to say "thanks, don't bother coming in." It's not necessarily vindictive, just a reality of what's easier.

True story (late 1990's) - new hire finishes training, but not IOE. Gets a CJO from their #1 choice pending medical. Tells training manager. Manager says "you've already been transferred to your base. Contact the CP." CP says "don't bother showing up. Congratulations. We'll take you off the payroll."

Years ago someone gave two weeks notice because they'd had a class date with their first choice. Company #1 said "thanks, we'll just cancel your IOE so you don't have to bother showing up." Oops, flunked the medical at the new company. Original company, after assessing how the person's honesty cost them their first job, gave them their job back. If they had never given notice they'd never have lost their first job. They could have just 'no showed' like several guys had already. Instead they were honest and it cost them, until their CP reinstated them.

When you look in the mirror how do you feel good about yourself? Stiffing your employer by not giving notice? Or giving notice even if it puts you at some risk?

Easy there killer. Wasn't disagreeing with giving 2 weeks. Don't you work for Endeavor? If you dig up some of the old 9E memos it says as much about rehire eligibility. The selfish reason at 9E for 2 weeks is to get vacation time paid out correctly.

Sorry. I'm just getting fed up with people not understanding basic business practice but wanting to be professionals. I don't/haven't worked for Endeavor. It's not selfish to get money rightfully owed you.

I'm not sure why this thread continues...
Send an email to the CP, two weeks.

Just text them.

The scene from "Half Baked" can top that.

When I used to fly for the regionals, I met a pilot who never resigned from the left-seat at said regional airline when he was hired by Delta in 2001. By his own admission, he reported for new-hire training at Delta on September 11th while using his vacation days. His plan was to give his two weeks notice after he got paid for his vacation days. The events of 9/11 that morning put everyone in his Delta new hire class on the street by that afternoon. Without saying anything, he just went back to work in the left-seat of a RJ while everyone else in his new-hire class was on the street looking for a job.

He said that move was one of the smartest things he has ever done for his career.
