First year is probationary year. Typically that means you can't vote on union issues and you aren't protected legally by the union either in the event you pork something up. You're sort of in limbo until day 366 with the company... worst case scenario would be some big time labor dispute (like this lawsuit may shape up to be) and the company can screw with you because the union rules don't apply.

They allegedly fired new pilots for posting negative comments about the company on our union FB forum. 35+ pilots left last month. Hundreds more have interviews or are in the pool somewhere waiting to leave. Company answers by suing us. Other ACMI carriers can rejoice in the fact that Atlas now has filled the void left by Evergreen as the lowest QOL carrier!

IF the union files single carrier then the process of amalgamation starts. It is exactly what management wants.
So FlatBiller what carrier do you work for and what is your specific job? I have read all your previous posts and you sure aren't a line pilot.
