[Doug Taylor]

Ehh, the source of the 'fight' doesn't matter as they can solve that with AT LEAST the chairman of professional standards.

I'd probably just call him/her on arrival and let them sort it out what to do.

BTW, if you physically assualt another crewmember, you're going to have your arse fired and you're pretty much screwed the rest of your career. Even if you keep you job, you're going to be on double-secret probation the rest of your career. Show up late for a trip and "Oh, that's the 'problem' pilot, there's impetus to let him go".

True story. When I was a CFI, we had an employee that had a litanny of behavioral problems.

Bigoted, opinionated, would backstab you in a heartbeat to capture your students, everything. The kind of guy that when you take a day off, he's in the chief pilot's office demading your multi-engine students because "Doug Taylor's lazy and I'm here. I need teh flight time because United's going to call him with or without the experience because of affirmative action".

OOOO KKKKKKK!

It's pretty hard to get my craw so I largely ignored his antics.

Anyway, he took his unchecked attitude problem to a regional airline, had a disagreement with his captain a few months/years into his new job and ended up punching the guy.

Fired. On the spot.

Violence in the workplace is unacceptable. I don't give a crap how mad you are but we're professionals and nothing about being a professional says anything about tolerable reasons for physical assaults.

Now, no one will hire the guy. It doesn't matter about his experience level, how many bridge programs he's gone thru or how much turbine time he has, he's a risk to a flight department and that termination is part of his "Pilot Records Improvement Act" file.

Totally screwed. And it's his own fault.

Check your anger before you permantently wreck your career.

It happens!
