As for a F/O being pulled off a trip, it did happen and he went home, got paid for the trip and that was it. Let's see...what's wrong with this picture ??
Have a bodacious day Mates
Thanks, that's kind of what I was getting at. As long as the FO didn't do anything outside the confines of FAR's, company policy/procedures, safety, etc, there was NOTHING that could be done to the FO. Especially when it was noticed that the CA is a scab.
Where as under normal circumstances (you know, a non-scab CA), such action might attract the attention of pro standards and/or the CP.
