They made him go to CMH for a carpet dance with the chief pilot. So far he has kept his job even though they can basically smoke you for anything at anytime while on probation. This whole thing is 100% uncalled for BS from management starting the whole intimidation game. Stay far, far away from this place until the union once again smites management and at a minimum the current Chief Pilot gets sacrificed. While seniority is always important in this profession, I would be waiting for the next contract when management is back from the stupid side of negotiations. This job can really suck when management and the union are butting heads.
Sadly, this wasn't the first time as there have been more but supposedly one of the more egregious ones. If you are on probation and call in sick, you put a big bullseye on your back. Follow the union guidance by getting a note from your doctor. Teledoc works great for that and my most recent visits have had no charge.
