I've been flying with a captain that flies very dangerously and with no respect for the first officer, FAR's or S.O.P's. I expressed my concern to him and he simply told me to get over it. Spoke to him a second time and no changes; however, he did threaten to advise management to NOT upgrade me when the time comes. shortly after that I wrote a letter to management expressing my concerns, but never sent it in, cause I cooled off.
Well, apparently, another F/O anonmously sent in a complaint about him too and management called me and asked my opinion. I told them how I felt and told them I had written a formal complaint, but never sent it in. I was asked to send it in, and I did without hesitation.
The guy was slapped on the hand and was told to fly straight, and that was the extent of that. Since I was the only one to make a formal complaint, this captain has come back at me with vengance. He has fabricated complaints and sent 'em in almost daily to our chief pilot and Director of Ops. in an attempt to have me fired.
The problem with this situation is that he he buddies with both the owner of the company and the D.O. and is pretty much untouchable. both the D.O and the owner are getting really tired of his complaints about me and I feel that the tables have turned. I feel like they're trying to push me out now, cause I'm considered a "trouble maker." The worse part about it is none of the other F/O's want to fall in the same trap I did and therefore, are not backing me up, nor coming forth with the truth.
Since this began, I've really lost interest in flying. Actually I dreed waking up in the morning and going to work . Has anyone ever been in this sort of situation and if so, what did you do to get yourself out. They're not going to fire him, cause he is typed, and a friend of the owners. What would you do?
