It seems that very few are getting fired as the company is now offering them a chance to resign. There are benefits to resigning and some of the most egregious ones have taken it. It is win win for both sides.
One thing about probation is you are still part of and represented by the union. The only thing about probation is you are not eligible for the grievance process. So if let go, you are on your own. In the past the company would terminate you if they felt you were a bad fit. Now they offer a severance. If you think you are being wronged, don't take it and fight it. The good thing about this hiring market is that you can take the severance and find another job. Win win for everyone.

Some airlines even have a limit of occurence per year in order to limit that kind of abuse. There are airlines where your fatigue call is an occurence until it is accepted/approved by management as fatigue.
Yes, "fatiguing or casing in sick when you are neither of those things, is a roll of the dice whether you’re on probation or not." but when you are on probation, wherever you are, your union can't do much to defend you.

I had a co-worker who had a twin brother at Northwest who said calling in sick was the worst. The next day you had a Fed Ex package sent to you mandating medical documentation. He said the best thing with the merger with Delta is this went away.

If you are sick, call in sick, period. I am not advocating that you can use sick time when you are not sick. You earn sick time for a reason. If you have sick time and you are sick, use it. End of story. If you call in sick once or twice a month, whether you are on probation or not you will be called in.

Thank you for the quick response.
Do new hires typically allocate 50 / 50 to Roth vs traditional IRA or.....
Has some nerd done the math and come up with a formula?
