Nobody is going to stick up for you to jump a bunch folks to get your old place in line back. |

If I were you I would beg and plead with the people that screwed you over and ask them to help you find another gig. It is a small world and everybody has friends. If you don't mind my asking what kind of experience do you have or what type ratings do you have? I tried to do the charter thing concurrently with the 121 gig and it was a nightmare in retrospect. I like the structure of 121 flying and the ability to build decent time to move on in the future. Flying 20 hours a month in a citation is fun and you see nice places but you aren't going anywhere fast. |

When you leave a carrier you're taking a chance. If the job doesn't pan out, then re-apply and start back at year one. If everyone was given their seniority number back after leaving, no one would stay. Just my .02

Well as the thread title implies, I am trying to get information/advice/be flamed or mocked about whether I have any recourse. I voluntarily left my my last carrier just over 2 weeks ago to start a new job. Things did not pan out in my shiny new corporate gig as their need for a pilot no longer exists. I was one week into training when I got the boot. The obvious answer is for me to email my rep, err former rep, but before I do that I just wanted to get advice from the masses. Is there anything I can do, or am I basically screwed? What a great industry this is!
Thanks in advance for any helpful responses/advice. Flame suit on, but be gentle. I haven't had time to fully digest it all! I know of an Eagle pilot who left on good terms to go to Aloha, was in training during Aloha's BK, and he was told so sorry by Chief pilot. After a weekend, his wife called Chief Pilot and some others at Eagle, bottom line he was back on the line in less than a week. Don't know what she said or did exactly to make that happen. |

You shouldn't have quit. You should have used vacation time, called in sick, whatever...it's not much, but it'll buy you two to three weeks of time during training to make sure it's what you really want to do.
Several major airlines have and will fire a new-hire if they find out he did not resign from his old company. Most recently it happened at jet blue. Sounds like a good idea, but make sure you understand how your new employer feels about that. |
