Question - New hire puts in reaignation, ( CJO in hand for other place) wakes up a few days later and thinks O Sh%& wrong move and wants to reverse course! Is there any hope at all in reversing course or is the ship resting next to the Tatinic? Thanks

 

No idea, I don't work for United, but they better have a REALLY good explanation why, if they even get the chance to plead their case.

 

 

No guarantees but I saw something very similar to this happen in my NH class & the airline was cool about it. There’s not a written policy I’m aware of so it’s more about talking to the right person & having a strong “hat in hand” game. The airline’s aware of what’s going on out there. They know people have options & occasionally have tough decisions to make. If you were dignified both in resignation & request for reconsideration, I think you’d be likely to find a sympathetic ear.

 

Well as long as thier record is good, they can apply again of course, but as far as getting their origianal DOH seniority back thats not how it works. Perhaps if the resignation hasnt been processed yet, they have hope....but generally speaking theres not a "Grace period" so to speak to change your mind.
A better question might be now to start contemplating is: Would the individual now be better off re applying at United and starting at the bottom or sticking it out at the new carrier. It would seem the individual appears to think UAL is prefferable one of the two.

I am curious as to why just days later they think they made the wrong call......and what would say months later they wouldn't change thier mind again? Its a very dynamic industry, fleet and growth plans can change, domeciles open and close all in a New York Minute.
Scenarios like this (while confusing to 50 and 60 year olds) are likely going to increase in volume in the coming years as a matter of generational habit/preference/ and general indecisiveness.

 

The OP has an interesting post history....

 

This is incorrect. So long as they have not reached their date of resignation or been told by the company they are already terminated, they have not been removed from the seniority list and can therefore rescind their resignation and keep their seniority number.

And before you say, it not written in the UPA, there is already precedent for it. Now, that being said, a probationary pilot can be let go for for any reason and the company can let them go anyway.

 

My headcanon is this person was hired, picked a bad word in indoc, was worried the company's response would be to wash them out in fleet training no matter what, so they resigned before they could be fired. Then they realized the heat was off them and decided that they could have made it through training anyways and now wants to come back. There is nothing anyone can say to convince me that this theory isn't accurate, and I will not accept any follow up questions, thank you.

 

I picked the same word in Indoc that Animal Mother picked in Full Metal Jacket. Everything worked out ok so far….

Whoever pointed out that the OP is the “weed” guy from Indoc……makes a very good point.

”asking for a friend”

”allegedly”

 

I have a question?
