Stuff I've heard so far:

'Recorded for Social Media': Millennial FO sits down and pulls out Go-Pro camera, mounts it. Captain: "Ahh put that away." Millennial FO: "But I record all my flights!" Captain: "Not this one" (calls DO and has her removed from the trip)

'Gesture Bullying': I've heard two versions: Millennial FO became upset because Captain was pointing at him/her too much and Millennial FO became upset because captain put his hand near the flap lever without being ordered to (more than once even!). Could possibly have both happened and be 2 x separate instances.

'Checklist Abuse': Millennial FO was PF and behind the airplane on arrival. Captain assaults FO in shoulder area with checklist, "Hey, how about the approach check??" Millennial FO is physically injured and demands mediated de-breif because he/she was "attacked in the workplace". Captain had to promise to stop hitting people with laminated pieces of paper.

'GET YOUR OWN MEAL, ***HOLE': Millennial FO refused to bring up both meals (when asked) because of, well....I don't really know.

'Its EUROPEAN!': Millennial FO had uniform pants tailored to resemble 'skinny jeans' (google it) and had shirt sleeves shortened to Terry from Reno 911 specs (Google "Reno 911 Terry", then click images). Another new FO with a comparable employee # + normal pants/shirt proceeds to chew him out for looking retarded and embarrassing all new hires in the AOC. Multiple pilots witnessed the event. Result/Consequences unknown at this time.

This is it, boys. I don't want to live in Clown World. It's just not funny anymore.
I hear of issues on our (UAL) narrow body/junior fleets ... Pro standards called and refused to continue with the captain because the captain said something bad/sarcastic about the airline. I've been an RJ captain for 9 years and I do it like... Other chicken fecal matter issues as well.

On the bright side I have less than 2 years to go.
