Since you were an intern at one time for company X, did you have a particular pilot group in mind? There is always more to the story, and maybe once you have been around the block once or twice you will see. That being said most new hires technically aren't covered while on probation so year one is what the company thinks your worth, and year 2-...... is what the union can negotiate.
