Option to resign or be terminated...

Pretty much the only "rehab" program, of sorts, that we have is HIMS. But HIMS, at least at our company, is a "remainder of your career" program.

I'm not sure if we've hired anyone already on HIMS at the time of application. I seriously, seriously doubt it.

But remember, people get fired all the time for a number of reasons. You're better off running into the gate because you got distracted than you are by stealing a flat of snack mix. Lie, cheat, steal or bring shame to the company: the kiss(es) of death.

Well, I don't know about that, but just seems to me that if the OP was truly negligent and/or careless in his duties, then the company would have no choice but to fire him. When they offer the option, it suggests to me they're not really sure where they stand, and they're trying to make the problem go away. I say let's see how badly they want him to resign. The OP should go back and ask for a pile of $ in exchange for a resignation. If they offer it, they're trying to buy him off (don't take it BTW).

Yeah probably would help the situation if he made a settlement offer to the company, have it be accepted, then reneged.
Would be best to add a character flaw and breach of contract to the mix.....:sarcasm:

Well, I was (partially) joking about that last part. But it would be an interesting test to see how badly they want him gone.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if it's an at will company, they don't need to buy him off, or a reason to fire him.
What I would be asking is if he resigns, what are they going to tell future employers. Is it just going to be employment dates or are they going to go into detail.

That being said, terminated or asked to resign are pretty much the same. Don't waste time wondering if you can overcome it. Evaluate, form a plan, and go for it. There are plenty of guys that have crashed planes and been terminated and are still working. Are you going to make it to the majors or the military, who knows, but it certainly is not unheard of. How much time has past, accomplishments since, and the state of the economy are all going to play a roll.

OP, please don't link to the NTSB report. Don't do anything to identify yourself. Just call an attorney and stop listening to pilots.

I guess I should have been more broad. Don't listen to dispatchers either. In fact, especially don't listen to dispatchers. Don't listen to anybody who doesn't sign his name with "Esq." at the end.

I swear, don't some of you people feel the least bit worried that you're giving advice that you're not qualified to give and it may result in somebody losing his career? :bang:

Do NOT "no show" for a flight because you're commuting!
