Default Warning to new hires

I'm hearing about many new hires at the AA wholly owneds getting class dates, but not showing up to class without letting the airline know they've accepted another offer. While I have no problem what airline you choose to go to that fits the QOL items you seek, I strongly encourage all of you to let the airlines you are turning down know. No matter the regional, that is not a good practice and can harm you down the road. While it may be ok with the independent airlines, remember that all the wholly owneds are just that, owned by the majors themselves and therefore in direct contact with companies you wish to work for in the long run. Don't ruin that by not doing something as simple as making a courteous call to say you've taken another position.

Some airlines have a "no rehire" policy. Once they have your SSN, you're done.

In all honesty you should make that courtesy call to any airline that you choose not to show up to class for. It's professional courtesy. But as the OP said, that could come back to bite you.

I get it, you had a change of heart and decided Skywest was better than psa but good grief I don't understand why some people cant take the 3 minutes to send an email or make a phone call. All of which can be done over that thing that is in your pocket or in from of your face 20 hours a day.

CAL used to. UAL may or may not have adopted that. AA did in the past.

Wouldn't say that. Some of these companies are so desperate they are hiring people once thought to be unemployable (excessive DUIs, etc). However you never want to burn a bridge unless forced to. Always good to be nice to everybody and give proper notice when leaving, or deciding to take another offer. Good will never hurts anybody.
