Thanks for your time and answers.

Don't worry, by the time we get released by the NMB, you will no longer be on probation...
However, that assumes the NMB would ever release us in the first place (not likely until we've jumped through many many hoops).
However number two (!!), with this very successful strike authorization vote, the moment the company violates "status quo" the Union can call for a variety of actions, up to and including a strike -- okay, so you may not be off probation.
So, clear as mud?!!
