Never give notice you are, or might be, leaving until you are CERTAIN you are leaving, ie. have an accepted job offer.
Never.
Did I mention never?
Counting chickens before they hatch is bad juju, and trying to 'do the right thing' for your employer could lead to them replacing you before you are ready to leave - if you even end up having the choice.
And yes, I am a former CP of a small 2 pilot/2 aircraft Part 91 flight department who gave my boss six weeks notice that I was leaving.
Never.

First Law of Wing-walking: Never let go of something without a firm grasp on the next thing.
I’ve been in both shoes and lost several guys on short notice. Go recurrent, if it soothes things over be available to some some brief contracting IF it fits with your new job.

I know at my company, vacation is earned compensation for the work I've already done. I either get to take it or I get paid for it when I leave.
Sounds like if you get the chance, you definitely need to leave for a new job.

If this is true, then you probably shouldn't say anything.

To me the OP's concern about losing vacation is just another reason why more and more corporate pilots are leaving for the airlines and love the idea of having a contract.
Unless there is a big change soon that slows down the airlines, I don't see how these types of operators will be able to attract or keep anyone with more than 1500hrs. Interesting days indeed.

Looks like I sway against the hives opinion on this one but I'd say it depends on your relationship with the boss. I think they would appreciate the forwardness of honesty and the savings on your recurrent training.
A coworker was talking behind the bosses back about his near departure. Once he found out the person was let go on the spot. On the other hand I gave him plenty of notice that I wouldn't be going back to school and it didn't hurt the last 6mo here. I've even been offered contract work in the future.
