How long...

Hi everyone. I just wanted to put a feeler out there. I think I made a bad choice on which Regional to call home. How long would you stay before you said "I'm getting the heck out of here"

Don't need anyone to make up my mind for me, just curious.

Also, wasn't sure exactly what goes on a PRIA. I mean if I tender a resignation and give two weeks notice(?) it shouldn't be held against me?

Thanks.

Care to PM me about which regional? I'm going through a similar situation.
 
I would personally wait till I'm off probation at the least. In the meantime, any chance you could work to fix what you don't like about it?

grievance has been filed, so yea definitely not trying to make a big deal of this particular thing of itself.

I've been here for 6 months.

More so is management/scheduling. I don't want to work for a bunch of scumbags that are going to try and screw you every chance they get. I show up on time fit for duty and do what I'm supposed to do. I've yet to fly with a captain that did not have same/similar issues with management/scheduling and I would just try to smile and politely acknowledge what they were saying and try to stay positive. then it comes your turn to bend over the barrel and you realize that these grumpy old captains are grumpy for a real good reason.... so bottom line I don't want to fly around with a bunch of grumps all day and work for scumbags that try to get one over on you at every turn.

Hate to break it to you, but that happens at the major/legacy level as well.

At least majors have real unions ?

Maybe I won't stay 121 at all, might just go flip burgers at MacDees :)

In all seriousness though, been through a lot worse and had a lot worse jobs. To that end however its my life and you can only put with what you're willing to put up with and everyone's different in that regard. Would what I put up with be different if I were making the money they guys at majors are ? Dang straight. As it is now - wear pants and fog a mirror and you can get a regional job. I'm not necessarily ready to walk away but I am entertaining the idea and willing to give a different operator a shot before I say screw it all. That's me and my choice though.

Still trying to find out if simply only being somewhere for 6 months and leaving in a professional manner is a PRIAble thing...

PS - I don't play an internet tough guy on TV but if you ever want to come over and do my former spec op PT program with me I can show what I'm capable of enduring :D

That's pretty much the business, in general. Probably a little less at the higher rungs of the profession.

And having a "real union" is only as good as your local representation and follow-through by the MEC.
 
I don't see how giving notice and leaving will negatively affect you on your PRIA records.
You will probably be asked why you left that job so soon when interviewing at other places, though.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
 
If you leave prior to completing your probationary period, your employer could terminate your "at will" employment for any reason and declare you "ineligible for rehire". While that may not be "PRIA-able", it may turn up during employment verification....

You said your management is a bunch of "scumbags". This has happened before.

Proceed with caution.

You can't be terminated if you quit.
At will goes both ways also.
1 minute notice is acceptable if you're at will.

Frontier is the only airline I've heard of doing this.
 
If you really don't like it (and have a better reason than crew scheduling jerking you around) then I would leave immediately. No reason to wait till the end of year one when you could be using that time to get through training and start getting seniority at a place you actually want to stay.

You wouldn't think this needs to be said to an adult, but what I see with people I know I guess it does.
