I can’t imagine the stress attached with all of this especially with questions about what the union can and can not do for you.
There’s a big misnomer about what the union can and can’t do for a probationary pilot.
The union can do everything but goto arbitration for a probationary pilot. That’s it. They have every other effort and union representation as any other pilot on the list.
Believe it or not, more time is spent by the union representing probationary pilots than non probationary pilots.
