As do I... that being said, I was an ALPA rep at a previous employer and I remember several probationary terminations which we could do absolutely NOTHING about. As a probationary employee, your protections under the RLA concerning terminations due to job performance or personal conduct are EXTREMELY limited. Thats basically the whole point of a probation period, so that the company can decide if you are someone they want to keep or not. Sounds harsh, buts that the law.
