I am coming up on my anniversary date here in a week and a half and haven't been contacted at all for a probationary interview. Is it my responsibility to go do this? I would think if I can get by without ever going in there, I would be better off.

Most of the time they are too busy to do it, but at least you made an effort, and put the ball in their court so to speak. If you don't make an effort, you may have to answer to that at a later date. Err on the conservative side.

It's a breeze unless you have had problems in the past with sick calls and such.

Lots of Luck!

I've found a stack of unmarked cash typically makes these meetings go more smoothly, regardless of airline.

It depends. If you started class before the new contract was signed (11/20/07) then probation ends a year after your first day of indoc. If you started after the contract was signed, it's a year after you completed IOE. (pg. 170 of the contract).

Ha, was just talking to a buddy of mine today in the lounge today about how I'd smoothly managed not doing an interview or check as far as probation goes. I'd fallin through the cracks, blah blah blah. So I'm all proud of myself for being ASA's newest rebel already, right? I'm not lying, guess who gets a probation line check on the next flight not 30-minutes later!!!! Ohh the irony!!! Not bad though, great guy, and it was easy and done with (only thing he commented about was that I should say "autopilot off" instead of "hold on to something") on final...
