Galley Gossip: A lot on FAs on probation are worried they’re going to be let go first under the probation first before the merge.

Answer: When on probation, the Employer is assessing for suitability and viability of the employment relationship. The Union has seen probationary extensions and terminations issued by the Employer citing high sick time, missed reserve calls, consumption of Buy On Board items, and “overall reliability.”
 
If you are on probation and have questions about utilizing personal leave or sick leave, please reach out to your Base VP. If your DPM calls you for a meeting, contact your Base VP immediately for Union Representation to attend your meeting with you.
