Don't be like the guy I "represented" as a new MEC rep. He was at EAL, got an offer from DL. At DL, he admitted that he had gotten his F/E ticket at EAL. DL showed him the door to Virginia Ave. he came back trying to rescind his EAL resignation. Company investigated, saw some suspicious sick time and refused his request. The case didn't go far. Be honest.

At the time, 1987-ish, DL refused to employ pilots from other airlines, period. When he admitted to being at EA, a fact not on his oringinal application but he updated upon class start, they rescinded the offer. A vanishingly small number of pilots went to DL from other carriers then.
Not sure of all the details, but we had several idiots (clowns?) as EA wound down. One clown went to AS, while using sick leave at EA. AS called for a final reference, which EA looked into, found he was not only on sick, but had used FP Loss for some of missing time at AS. He was another one shotdown TWICE. A lot of us thought taking "revenge" was a good idea, even at a failing airline, it wasn't and isn't.
Columbia: funny, but I hope it's not true!

I wouldn't worry, no employer wants an unhappy pilot. I've left several jobs for better gigs; other than a snide comment, everyone understood. One was a three-pilot deal. The Chef said he'd have one the same thing, 25 years earlier.
But, be honest and upright. Take vacation or some "personal" time for a family matter to go to an interview, do NOT call in sick. Try like the dickens to give them as much notice as possible--two weeks minimum.

I received the E-mail invite on Friday 1730 Eastern. It said to call the number on weekdays 9 - 5 eastern. I called about 1030 Eastern, and got an answering message. I left my name (even spelled my last name, sheesh) and 2 call back numbers. Now, I sit here wondering, "will she call back?"

It's only been 15 minutes....Deep breaths. You'll be fine. Send your time building Gouge and getting ready. When you get the date it will seem like it's tomorrow. Good luck.

If "she" doesn't call back, maybe you just weren't that good.
