Thanks for all the responses. I must not have communicated well enough that I had already left the company. I did so on the spot during my conversation with HR and other management. I was effectively given only one option which was to continue to fly with the individual in question. I was not given someone else to fly with. There were no other options so I chose to resign effective immediately. I just don't think they had anyone else I could fly with. I do know they had asked at least 2 other pilots and neither would pair with him due to his reputation.

This was very poorly handled by HR, they did no investigation and never spoke with me about this issue beyond my written report. They had extensive discussions with the other pilot. I am told he is currently on suspension.

I was contacted by HR shortly after my resignation and it was a very short phone call with the HR rep stating the company was accepting my resignation. I wasn't aware they had a choice?

I was fortunately was picked up by a competitor across the field a few days later (ironically the company that fired the guy in question previously for threatening other employees).

Frankly I am shocked with all the historical info about this nutcase and his temper and behavior towards other crew members that this ended the way it did. I have spoken with a couple of lawyers and am told his behavior did rise to a criminal level. I am not a lawyer so I don't understand how. But something about threatening a crew member in the performance of his duties? I don't want to pursue this regardless.

The company has warned all employees to not speak with me out of fear of a lawsuit. Which is ironic given the circumstances. So I am missing out on some new friends in a new city where I don't know anyone.

I really liked the company and the people I worked with. The company invested a lot in getting me on board but their HR department is utterly out to lunch. I am just at a loss as to how this ended the way it did.
