Pilots do all kinds of stupid things when they get a new job but not realizing it could be months before they start and they may not make it through training like:

Quitting or putting in your two week notice the next day

Finally telling off the Chief Pilot, DO etc. what you really think of them

Buying that house in West Palm Beach because you read on JH you will be a Captain in no time.

Moving to Fort Worth before you even start training because its American Airlines, and surely you will be based at DFW

Not studying because surely they will teach you everything you need to know in training.

Getting impatient and taking another job because you can just quit when you finally get a class date.

Buying anything you could not previously afford.

Giving your wife any timelines (oh I'll only be on reserve a few months, oh I'll only be at a regional a few years, oh I will make Captain in a year, oh I will be able to bid Dallas next month, oh we will be out of bankruptcy any time now, oh management will sign the new contract any day now, if it was over between me and the rental car agency girl months ago)
