Another IOE captain forced himself onto a female Skywest captain during her IOE and she had to physically fight him off. None of us report it because we stand to lose everything. To be shunned by our fellow pilots and blackballed by the industry. You all think it was our fault or just the way it is. This is part of why a union is needed. Few other industries would tolerate this kind of behavior. In aviation it is widespread and the norm. It's just a matter of time.

If it's for real...
The company won't tolerate it, they stand to lose a great deal.
This is 2015. Walk off the plane (or out of the hotel), immediately call the MOD and report it (the line is recorded). Then file a complaint on SKWOL. Go home until the company starts it's process. Just to be safe, ask for IOE somewhere in Cali with a younger check airman so you're out of the hypothetical Utah old boys club.
If you wait until you flunk IOE, then it looks like sour grapes. If you wait until after IOE then it's harder to address because it will be he said/she said and folks will wonder why you didn't walk off the plane when it happened.
But if you WALK AWAY and notify the company immediately there is no way the guy can explain it away. Even if nothing is proven 1) you'll get IOE with someone else and 2) that guy will probably be done as a check airman. Worst case, he'll be so scared poopless he'll probably never bother anyone again.
