I am sure that the union will put out more information if it comes time for a strike, which would still be months away. The good news is that all the captains you would be paired with will be on strike (except management pilots and one other guy), so most likely your trip would cancel before you needed to show at the airport, but for the sake of your job during probation, you show up to work as normal.
I could be wrong, so definitely call your rep or wait for an official union email informing you what to do in the event of a strike.
Lol, no. Flying during a strike just because you're on probation would be the dumbest way to start an airline career in the history of aviation. Particularly during this job market. The only people who would do the would probably be those quality individuals who would scab, regardless.
