I've been screwed by mergers and ALPA more than most on these pages but still perform my duties to the best of my abilities. May get screwed again with this SLI but will still perform my duties in a professional manner.
Absolutely wrong. Your definition of belligerent might fall into the category of a personality conflict between two crew members when viewed from an impartial observer. The arbiter of that definition should not be the chief pilot but rather pro standards. If pro standards feels the problem cannot be solved on their level and if warrented, then yes it could be elevated.
