Default ASA Probationary Interview?

I just got a message saying I have to meet with the chief pilot for one of three probationary interviews. What goes on during a probationary interview? Thanks.

Shouldn't be anything to worry about. Just to be on the safe side, I'd bring some Astrolube, Kleenex and a burrito poncho. Should be routine

Is it just your 6 month or year mark shindig?

I guess it will be my six month. What is it all about? Just want to know what to expect.

I know it was a breeze back when RC was there. I don't know what to tell you now since he is gone. Make sure your Jepps and FOM are up to date.

Wrong, BSH932 is still on 1st year pay and astrolube is expensive! All you need is a rubber glove, popcorn butter, and a paper towel. All can be found just outside his office for free! Make the system work for you...

I did my 1st one in August. He looked at my Jepps and FOM and just asked how things were going and that was about it. I was told to come back every 3 months for the 1st year. I have my 2nd one at the end of November. What class were you in?

They just ask if you've had any problems, maybe check your manuals, review your FO evaluation you were supposed to have a captain fill out, and check your attendance/sick calls... it's basically a simple chat unless you've had some issues. If you're clean, don't sweat it.

Wow. You're right! Sorry I was being insensitive.

I went to my first one a while ago... a bunch of the chiefs had me play a practical joke on another one of the chiefs. They all laughed their asses off and said "nice work what's your name ok go home."

I haven't gotten an email for another one since then. I'm past a year now. Oh yeah and I figured I'd go in for a second one a couple months ago and the chief pilot couldn't pull up the database, so he said not to worry about it and sent me home.

In short, don't worry about it.
