Don't even think about trying to set him up, you'll just end up (in a rather Kevorkian twist of fate) getting yourself in trouble instead. Keep your stuff locked up (tsa style locks if you like) including, wallets, passports and ID's (never heard that one before today), wedding rings, ipod, pens, pencils, uniform leather jackets (yes an f/o I had a year or so ago had his vanish on trip as well), iphones etc. all locked up. Even when you're just heading to the back for a quick break.

As for his high speed taxi's and flights, in retrospect when I was that mid level 727 F/O in OAK, I wish I'd just stepped on the brakes. If you're on a hard time trip (more and more of those these days aren't there?), try asking him why we're going so fast, it's a hard time trip. And with our jet kerosene fuel prices now nearly $3/us gal. it's not just acceptable any longer to fly like that.

The sad thing is that Maxwarp `/ Physco ` knows he's being a bad boy. He cleans up his act radically when he gets his line checks and sim rides. At least that's what a friend in Flight standards told me who also flew with him over the years as well as when OAK was a crew base. It's not like someone in management doesn't know that he's a problem. Even ALPA 1 knew he was trouble as it was a recurring problem when I was council 98 Vice Chairman and later Chairman, so I find it hard to believe that everyone has had a bout of collective management amnesia on this... then again they are management.
