Bottom line!! speaking is not an requirement and if he wants to be an a$$ then he better hope he does not jumpseat on any plane I fly because revenge is a bi@ch. Wont be the first time a FIRST OFFICER put a captain in his PLACE. next to the lavs..
Be prepared to get left behind a few times in the future.
I wouldn't make a scene in back, but would walk back and ask you to get off the airplane. If you didn't, I would have the police remove you.
It's pretty simple, and not worth getting worked up about.
Also, as an F/O I wouldn't be so quick to take a stand like that. I would speak with the Captain first, before you jumped down someone's throat on his airplane. Don't get me wrong; F/O's are fully qualified pilots, but they don't posses the authority to make those types of decisions without discussing it with the pilot in command.
