U mean one can still get chopped when one becomes a FO or Captain? Sounds scary.... Besides due to medical grounds, what other reasons are there to chop a FO or Captain?
Too many....apart from the obvious like failing your base checks or wilful negligence (e.g. crashing a plane
), other reasons can include
1. Pissing management off (e.g. parking at your chief pilot's reserved parking lot)
2. Groping a stewardess/steward
3. Having an 'attitude' problem
4. Bouncing your cheques
5. Late for work/Missed a flight
6. Not contactable during standby period
7. Flying while intoxicated
And the list goes on and on and on......
