Paperwork to sign when quitting the regional.

[flyboy26ok]

A few days after turning in my 2 week notice of resignation, my chief is asking me to come in and sign a few things. I tend to think like a lawyer, and I'm wondering what incentive I have by signing something at a company I'm leaving. I fully intend to either turn in (or mail) everything that has been issued to me. Does anyone know if there are repercussions to me not signing this stuff? I'm at the big, nonunion regional out west. I am indeed moving on to another airline.

Thanks

Ask him what it is he wants you to sign. Also ask him to send you some advance copies so that you can look them over/study them and have a lawyer review them if you deem necessary.

When I left my regional 1.5 yrs ago I didn't sign anything, nor did they ask me to.

When I left my regional, I didn't have to sign anything. What is this stuff he wants you to sign? Is there a training contract at your airline?

 

[flyboy26ok]

No training contract, no employment contract, no severance payment or consideration for signing anything. I think the only way they may "help me out" in return is by leaving my travel benefits on for an extra day so I can commute home.

You are very wise

Do not reply unless you want to go back, they probably want a debrief as to why you would want to leave their Stepford nest.
Waste of time...

Sign it with a giant turd?

 

[rickair7777]

Yeah, I'd ask for advance copies to review.

Be careful about just blowing off the meeting...if they consider that a work assignment they could write you up for no-showing it, which might impact your next job.

Go to the meeting, but don't feel like you have to sign anything because you don't.

Maybe ask this on the SAPA forums, I've never heard of it before maybe others can shed light.

No matter how much you love your new company and think youll never go back, I wouldn't burn a bridge in this industry.

I used to think that way and mostly it's true. I think the exception would be a Hulas owned company. In that case burn that bridge down. I would never go back to work for any of his companies. Screw you Hulas

Could be as simple as signing to confirm that ID's etc were turned in. I also think you have to sign some government required paperwork which informs you of your rights to continue insurance coverage under the COBRA program.

Don't worry about it maybe they are throwing you a surprise going away party.

You have to go! When I left they called me in and they had a small cake and everyone from the Chief Pilots, scheduling supervisors all the way to VP of flight ops thanked me for my 8 years of service by signing a certificate of appreciation that I hang on the wall of my house! Oh and a gold Rolex. It was so warm and fuzzy and made me feel so good about how hard I worked for them. They even gave me must ride travel home.

Where did you get hired?

Until someone you dump on turns up in a hiring position at a company you want to go to. It's happened. Best to take the high road.

They probably want to hit you up to walk their stuff into your new job.

Some companies have paper work to verify you turned in things like badges or anything else assigned to you for the completion of your duties. They are also likely to want a statement of intent to terminate so they can't be accused of an improper job action when you don't show the day after you quit. I wouldn't assume they have some evil intent. But I wouldn't blindly sign anything either.

There are no "forms" required to quit a job. You owe them nothing. Ive left jobs feeling badly with the boss shaking my hand and others that I just stopped going to. It doesnt matter if the next gig is set up. I had ExecJet (now NETJETS) lined up and quit Flex by voicemail only as a courtesy to a person in scheduling whom I liked and didnt want to cause a headache cuz I wasnt coming back. Man up girls.
