Quit: Take This Job And Shove It
This is an article from MSNBC on how some employees, with salaries and benefits cut to the bone, are quitting without giving the traditional two week notice. Lots of hot button issues discussed (or can be discussed): karma, getting a good/bad reference later, ethics. Should you play nice after getting squeezed so much already? Should you worry about your current financial situation or look into the future? How much "goodwill" do you owe your employer and vice versa?

I take issue with the title of this article... there is a big difference between not giving two weeks notice, and taking parting shots when you leave. If things are shaky at your existing employer, and someone wants to hire you somewhere else and is anxious for you to start, I think it's perfectly rational and understandable to want to start at the new employer immediately.
I have personally known people who had job offers extended, and then had the offers rescinded before they actually started. I think this creates further incentive to jump to a new position without two weeks' notice to your previous employer.

simple solution. 4 easy steps.
1. Call chief pilot/flight manager/whoever applicable, and put in a verbal two week notice.
2. Put together a formal resignation notice via email or letter and mail/fax it to whoever you called in step one.
3. Call crew scheduling and call in sick for your trips over the next two weeks
4. Go to new job immediately.
