Telling your current employer your interviewing

[Texan Driver]

I have to agree with the advice of not telling an employer you are interviewing. I was "chief" pilot of a banner tow operation in Southern California one time a few years ago and I needed time off for an interview in Florida...I was fired the next day and the owner told me he felt "betrayed". This was after I gave up a job offer to fly Beech 18's and DC-3's because he was short staffed and he was good to me when he hired me 4 years earlier when they didn't really need any pilots. Ugh. Never again.

The "No's" have it...

I agree with G200. Give them as much notice as possible but if you need to get out to get the better job, do it!

The worse the outfit, the $hittier they will be when you talk about leaving. They may even backstab you when someone calls about references later in life.TC
