In addition to the proabtionary pilot that happened to there were some other unusual circumstances as well. One pilot called mid trip to turn in his two weeks notice with his Fleet Chief and was immediately replaced out in the field and DH'd home. Another pilot commuted in to start a trip, turned in his two weeks notice and was removed from the trip and sent back home.

Flew "at will" for almost a decade. People would ask me if I liked my job, and I would say "I can't complain. I would like to, but they would fire me". Mostly joking, because it was a good job, but I am pro union.....
at NK I didn't talk about having a CJO, but definitely not because I was worried about what the company would say/do at all, because they could do nothing.... Just didn't want the cockpit talk be just about the $#!t show that NK is. And I felt bad about leaving after 12 years, at my age, I did like working there. But I was telling every FO I flew with to keep their options open ever since I upgraded, especially the younger ones.

There was a regional guy way back in the day who gave his notice by diverting to his home town airport, calling in his immediate resignation, and walking off the plane.
IIRC he was leaving aviation for good, and didn't GAS. They raked the FO over the coals, but the CA had claimed he felt some strange prop vibration or something to that effect so they weren't quite able to make anything stick.

Not sure that there's a possibility of this happening at NK, but at FedEx as soon as they catch wind of you having a CJO and intending to resign they escort you off property. No matter how far out that class date might be. It's a really disgusting thing that they started doing the past two years. Pretty wild!

My AA PRIA request got sent to FedEx like 2 days after I got my CJO. Fleet CA at FedEx sent me an email asking about it but I just ignored it. Sent my resignation like 2 weeks later then flew two whole trips on the line before the date given on my resignation letter. The only response I got was sorry to see you go and let us know how we can help. I had access to all company systems until the last day.
I’m pretty critical of a lot of things that I experienced at FedEx but this isn’t one of them. They handled my separation perfectly professionally.

There has to be more to these stories, or some embellishment somewhere.
