I'm going to squash this rumor before it gets viral.
The FO has NOT been fired as of yet.

It may well be true that the company will fire the FO for the reasons previously stated. We have to wait to see what they do, but nothing has happened as of yet. Hold your horses, my opinion of this company is not much of a secret, but don't rush to diseminate false info.

When there is a resolution, I'll post more detail about the circumstances before this incident and including it, until then, it is not for public consumption as the matter is still very much open for the FO.
But I will say this, the burden of proof is on us for anything we do, and even with efforts to prove or vindicate one self, the company has a Stalinist view of guilty or innocent. Remember the purges?

Know your contract well, don't give an inch outside of the CBA. Use the ASAP process for issues, incidents or potential violations. Print your times at the end of every day, write down who and when you speak to someone if they call you or you to them for issues(i.e. DJ, JB, FJ, etc). Tell your local union reps about these conversations.
The company will take all they can from you, but the minute you accidentally step sideways, you will be toast. Remember C.Y.A!
