if a pilot has not completed his first year or first officer training, he is on probation and not eligible for a furlough"

"Interesting. Never heard of anything like that before. That really sucks.

I was involed in recruiting with COEX before it became Express Jets. After 9-11 all the pilots that were in training and that did not finish their probation (1 year) were let go. The pilots that were there for more than 1 year were put on furlough.

I'm not 100% on this but I think you are incorrect here. The way I understood it from the ALPA reps. was that when the new LOA was signed, it put all new hires under furlough protection during that probationary year. The original contract did not have it but the addendum included it. I could go dig out my contract and look it up but I've got limited brain capacity and my Legaleze to English dictionary is missing.
