I find myself in a terrible situation and seek the advise of all those out there...
I have just had an interview offer from the company who I have been trying to get in with for alomst 2 years.
They are the company I want to work for.
They are NetJets.
Here is my problem:
My interview date offered is for the 20th of this month. I am currently working, on a short term contract in Algeria fly a Beech 1900. I have been flying for this company on a contract basis for 3 years. I am only due to finish my rotation on the 29th of this month and it is highly unlikely that I will be able to leave early as my replacemnt is only due up the day before.
What should one do?
I think I should inform NJ of my situation and explain that I have a work commitment which I must honour first and would it be possible to reschedule a later interview.
But some of my fellow pilots here tell me I should just leave and go to the interview as it is a great opportunity.
I do not dispute that, but feel it would be wrong to drop my present employer for a interview..burning bridges?
Suggestions please...
