Even if AA isn't someone's first choice, who is bypassing that invite to stay at a regional? Fact: Working for AA is better than working for any regional.

Wow... you might want to read the OP's post a couple of more times.

You are completely wrong.

We need a font dedicated to sarcasm. I was hoping this would be taken in the humorous way it was meant.

I was thinking the same thing...hence my tagline in the original post :cool:

DAL has the same policy.

Bottom line treat any major airline (and any company associated with them including wholly owned regionals and ground handling services) with kid gloves in all of your dealings with them. The number of airlines is shrinking and if you burn too many bridges you might find yourself in career checkmate. Very stupid to blacklist yourself over something as trivial as a timely/respectful resignation or decline of job offer. Do it in writing...if time is of essence then call abd follow up with a letter. Give them two weeks notice AT THE VERY LEAST.

I know a military guy who lost a CJO because of something like this that happened years in the past before he even joined the Navy. Didn't give two weeks notice as a ramper in his small hometown...the station was handled by a wholly-owned regional which no longer exists but the major STILL had the records. Actually he says he did give notice but somehow there was confusion and the supervisor put him down as not eligible for rehire. This is a great dude with master's degrees and all the gucci top gun boxes checked but he got torpedoed by something a bull ramper with a GED did 20 years ago.

Not to mention it takes a spot in class away from someone who would really like to be there.

There were guys who'd left Eagle for TWA and didn't give two weeks notice, that when AA bought TWA they were let go. Even if it had been years before.

THAT is how vindictive these people can be. No matter the circumstances or how bad you hate them, take the high road. You just never know.

No way. Unions would never allow that. I call BS on that rumor.
