I'd take the break only if being unemployed for a longer period of time is an acceptable option. Class dates do change, get delayed or cancelled.

Also, unless PRIA requirements have changed recently, you will have to account for any period of unemployment greater than 30 days.

How would it be any different than being in class while on terminal leave from the military? Technically employed with two employers simultaneously.

Bringing this topic back! What would be the best resignation date to notify current employer, one day before class date or a few days overlap?
Just to be protected, in case they cancel!

Two weeks notice is conventional… but I don’t know why. The company certainly can’t replace you any better with 14 days notice than with one.

I think resigning while on an outstation overnight is poor form, but if you give them adequate notice to cover your absence with short-call reserve, I don’t see why that’s a problem.

Worst form I have seen, a friend told me about. A relatively new engineer left his badge in his desk drawer at the end of the week. He walked out the door, never showed up again. He never answered his phone nor email.

I quit 3 days before an IOE flight to start in a class that had an opening at my career airline. We are just a number in the cog so do what you need to do. Ask people who had classes around the week or so after 9/11. If the quit a month prior they may have been without a job vs quitting last minute or week prior.

I made mine the day I started class. I believe I said my resignation date is (insert United class start date) and the last day I would be available for company duty was the day prior. I was concerned about a class cancellation so I didn’t want to do it until the absolute last moment. Naturally I backed the notification up to two weeks and a day to be sure.

For some reason reason I thought you couldn’t have employment at 2 airlines overlap?

You can get fired from your new airline if you have not resigned at your old airline. Just do the right thing.

Make your resignation effective the day of your new hire class.

What if you need a week or so to get yourself together and prepare for the new airline? Is it common for people to finish a 4 day, go home, and then leave for Indoc the next day?
