It's not going to work against him on his probie ride. Give me a break.

Just make sure and have every captain fill out a probie report after you fly with them. Those carry a lot of weight. Having 50 of those with good things to say will carry you farther than a MA will hurt you.

Also, this is a business and mistakes happen. If I were in your shoes, I'd simply explain what happened, apologize, and ask what you can do to make it better. Carrying your hat in your hand and asking forgiveness is your best move.
