Do you have accrued vacaiton time? If so, give 2 week's notice 2 weeks before class. Work a week and use whatever your vacation time (if any) starting with day of INDOC.
On the other hand, is this a company that gives its employees 2 weeks notice when they are being let go? Most white collar type companies tell you the day of termination and walk you out. The 2 week notice thing for employees to employers is a practice that's been around forever but there is no legal requirement to give it unless you have a contract stating otherwise.
Either way, once they know you're bound for a paying pilot job they know you have one foot out the door anyway. So even if the class is canceled and you stay put, they may start reducing your responsibilities waiting for "the other shoe to drop", as it were.

Haha, true! However, I think there is a reasonable assumption in their statement that "required" just means to remain in good standing with the company you are leaving and/or have the box checked on your HR paperwork "would hire again".

Not to be a pessimist, nor imply you may not pass, but as someone mentioned the reason you leave may be as a result of your failure and nothing to do with a hiring freeze. Crap happens and it's best to be as prepared for it as possible.

Risk comes with any change of employer which brings a reasonable sense of worry for one's personal (financial) security. For this reason alone, I would recommend not burning this bridge. Give whatever notice your current employer asks for (not a day more) and let the cards fall where they do.

This is actually what i did when i quit Piedmont. They knew I had a CJO, and I had already talked to the CPO, DO, and training department about leaving with minimal notice to get in the first available class. Everyone said it was fine, and wished me well. I know its in vogue to say how horrible the management at PDT is, but I was really impressed.

But airline training is different. Really really really focused on flying the cookbook. Did you notify the Flight attendant in the middle of running the ABC emergency checklist. Stuff like that. And yes, the imaginary flight attendant in the sim.
