Isn't this like the the third or so incident where crew-members were in physical altercations? One comes to mind where maybe a captain knocked out an FO and cancelled a flight.
I think most American companies have a policy to terminate the initial physical aggressor if known. It makes all but the ignorant think twice before popping a fellow employee.
This wouldn't be tolerated in an office, shouldn't be tolerated in the air. If I ever see two pilots fighting like that...I am getting off the plane. He should be suspended without pay. Assuming this is true as written.
And how will you get off at 30.000 feet?
Not supposing the way that airline is run. Oh well another day at the fights.
Management needs to gets both oars in the water and pull at the same time. There is no excuse for allowing an atmosphere where this is the end result.
