Probationary Pilots (typically new hires within 365 days from DOH) are afforded all the rights within the contract (they enjoy all work rules pay rates, etc, in the contract) except for one, they are unable to send a disciplinary grievance to arbitration. Meaning, they can grieve anything, but can not make their case before and arbitrator to keep their job.
