AA has classes assigned now into March, so there are plenty of NK pilots with a class date/soon to be, and waiting for that two week mark to send in notice.
And honestly, why even give 2 weeks? Seems like guys would be better off waiting until the last day or so. I don’t recall anything contractually that allows a pilot to pull back their resignation if something happens to their class date. Guy gives 2 weeks, AA or UAL somehow cancels the class, NK says “nope, you resigned,” now you’re out on your butt.
Better would be to fly right before class date, drop your remaining trips, and drop letter of resignation after last trip. It’s not like they need to “train someone” to replace you.

And it’s going to increase too

That carrot/stick is typical of most contracts. I can even think of one that requires 30 days notice, anmd yes that bit a few folks in the butt at the start of covid.

Hey I hear other pilots getting water canon salutes for “Retiring” and going to another airline.
anybody know who I can message about getting mine set up before I leave?
I guess we’re getting water cannon salutes for making a good decision??
and I hear if you’re under the age of 40, you also get a ticker-tape parade through the terminal with a brass band.

I believe said captain was the LEC chair/vice chair for FLL/MCO and is heading to AA.

Exceeded per the metric in the furlough MOU. I’m sure without that agreement they would not be canceling anything. They need to shed a ton of bodies. I would not expect any adjustment on furlough numbers outside what’s required by the MOU. I fully expect another round for fall 2025 if the doors are still open.

CJO = GTF out of the union. No respect for someone who doesn’t immediately step down from their union position when they clearly aren’t 100%…
