Stupid Mistake

Post by PittBoss »

So I did this stupid mistake and don't know if I will get in trouble.

I accepted AC offer and went to GS without leaving my old company. And as I didn't get the WB I resigned and continued with my old company.

Will there be any repercussions? :roll: :roll: :roll:

Hopefully, whatever you’re going through in your life that causes you to make these posts, improves. Until then, may your catch be plentiful and your mind fulfilled.

Thanks for confirming you’re an idiot!
If this were a true story, I question your mental capacity and the repercussions of this decision is you’re stuck at WJ waiting for a 16-20 year upgrade.

Knowing the personality who's doing the hiring at Porter on the E2, if th OP were really in this situation, then the hiring team upon discovering the real story would likely laugh, then decline their application.

That said, I'm sure it's happened before where people have taken our offer and another carriers to double salary or something or push off making a decision, who knows. I imagine due to documentation, people usually get caught pretty quick nowadays.

'get caught' implies they did something wrong. Fielding multiple offers is hardly something to 'get caught' on. The same for leaving a job that didn't turn out the way you wanted it.

I don’t see the big deal really, didn’t cost Air Canada anything at this point, no real training had occurred, I just don’t understand the logic!
Is it because there was no widebody in initial training and the reality is no one will hold the junior widebody FO spot for many years without that after the new contract.
The OP has been at WJ a year or less based on postings from him/her/them, in that situation I see nothing but up side to going to AC. Joining now puts about 1500 numbers below you, faster to the left seat without a doubt, definitely more options down the road.
Of course that’s with the current environment, WJ could expand the 87 fleet but who knows, current wait for the left seat there would be enough for me, I doubt this can be undone though. I don’t think AC is so desperate they would rehire someone who pulled that maneuver

Oh agreed, seems unlikely they would forget that. If the concern or the mistake is that they blew up the bridges to an AC career, then yes, that likely happened. Although stranger things have happened. Things change quickly.

One way out could be to ask AC to remove all your personal information from their system, wait a few years so nobody remembers your name/face, and then try again.

Working at two different operators at the same time usually contravenes employment contracts, unless specifically approved prior.

That said, the OP is having a bit of a laugh, I was delving into the hypothetical.

You are unhappy in the role you have. So why stay? The company will not magically change. Your role will not get better. If you are interviewing know that you have to be willing to leave on good terms and move forward in your career.

This! I don't see how it matters if OP's story is real. Regardless the whole point is to speculate on a scenario OTHER people might end up in the future
