It is time for him to be removed from the Safety Committee. He brings a bad name to the term "union" IMHO. We all have our opinions about what is going on, past and present. But we act like adults and do our job in a professional manner. If you don't like something I am doing and just can't seem to address it with me, then call Pro Stan. To go crying to the Chief Pilot over something that IS NOT safety related is pretty low.

In addition, if the company is going to cite uniform policy as the reason this FO was removed from the trip per CA's request, it had better enforce the policy consistently. I am no company man, but if the company is going to pull the FO over this they had better pull every sideburned long-haired hippie, faded-Dockers/jeans, cowboy-boot wearing slovenly excuse for pilots I see walking through the terminal on a daily basis. That being said, I am not advocating that in the least. It is about consistency. The company can't use the uniform policy as an excuse here if they don't actually enforce what is written..

The union should provide trip loss pay to this FO as was mentioned above.
