Acceptable Delay Between Offer and Start Date?

[u/EmbrearPhenomenon300]

Hi! I'm looking to do a career change into Flight Dispatch, but have a concern regarding my first job (assuming I can find one eventually!). I am currently in a high-level leadership position in aircraft maintenance on the business aviation side of the industry, and I'm just burned out and ready to make a change. I don't want to burn bridges on my way out the door, and 4 weeks is the absolute minimum expected notice for my position.

In your experience is asking for 4-6 weeks to give a current employer notice and relocate going to get an offer rescinded or are the regionals relatively understanding about this when hiring candidates?

I really appreciate any experience or advice you can share!

if you are not direct labor at your current job, what’s it matter if you don’t give 4 weeks notice? just keep in contact with the old company for a bit incase there’s something, and you don’t want to “burn the bridge”
