Oh United

Yep. Last year a guy was fired from both FedEx and UAL for trying a similar stunt. It bears repeating here, as this practice has unfortunately been recommended by a couple of legacy pilots in this thread.

New hires: Do not under any circumstance start class at your new airline while still employed at your old airline. You will be fired and have your nice new life ruined.

I asked (in an email) the new place if they minded that I would still be on vacation at the old place for a week when I started up, mostly so I could jumpseat across the country to get to the new job. They said no problem. I fedexed my ID back after I got done with my first day of indoc.

I sent some emails to ask what recruiting thinks.

Well thankfully SJI is still going full steam ahead with classes. Just got assigned the 717. We are brothers now right, @SlumTodd_Millionaire

Wrong. You would have to be a SWA pilot to have brother status with him.

Everyone knows the Fedex Flight Engineer, but this PSA was before the Fedex. It was brutal. They made a Mayday/Air crash investigation episode on PSA (also on Fedex).

On PSA the suicide note about "Hi Ray. I think it's sort of ironical that we end up like this. I asked for some leniency for my family. Remember? Well, I got none and you'll get none. " was found in the crash. Unbelievable that it survived and pointed to the truth.

I resigned an hour before class started. I was out on leave anyways. Had a family member with health stuff going on and couldn’t risk healthcare being cut off.

I kept my regional job. I worked at my major and my regional for a year. It was the only way to afford 1st year pay at hillbillyPhilly.

American doesn’t seem to think that...
17 Mar class:

“While your orientation is suspended, your employment at American is not. We want to do the right thing by you and by your families, so we will be making you an American Airlines employee as of March 17. As an employee, you will receive a paycheck, have travel privileges and be eligible to enroll in our medical coverage. We will reschedule your orientation once life returns to normal. Renee, Dena, Don, or Teri will reach out to you tomorrow to address any questions you may have.”

Seniority number?

 

[Kingairer]

Seniority number?

I assume so, If they’re giving them everything else.

 

[Sculprit]

Seniority number?

I mean they said right there they are making those individuals American Airline employees.

I guess starting and getting furloughed is better than nothing. Maybe I’m just pessimistic, but I don’t see how the airlines weather this without shedding huge amounts of expenses. I’m 65% up a list and I’m concerned for my job security.
