I have a question. I don't know much about unions. As a new hire, if the union decides that a strike is necessary, are you protected? I wondered if you are on "probation" your first year and the mgmt can fire you for any reason.
Thanks for your time and answers.

However, that assumes the NMB would ever release us in the first place (not likely until we've jumped through many many hoops).
However number two (!!), with this very successful strike authorization vote, the moment the company violates "status quo" the Union can call for a variety of actions, up to and including a strike -- okay, so you may not be off probation.
So, clear as mud?!!

Don't worry, by the time we get released by the NMB, you will no longer be on probation...

"Protection" has nothing to do with Initial and IOE. It is based SOLELY on being off probation (ie. One year of employment).

I was at Comair during the strike. Several pilots were fired, at various times, months before the walkout. All returned with the striking pilots once the contract was voted in by the majority.

Hey guys new to the thread, sent my Resume and PAQ in a few days ago. I have 3 friends I know flying for the company that were forwarding my Resume as well to HR...I'm sure the "competitive hiring mins" are all over the place but anyone here a former Regional FO with a little over 2000 total, 1000 hours 121 and get a call?
Also anyone taken the Technical assessment recently able to give a more recent take on the questions?
Thanks!
