Narrative:

The captain and the flight attendants have had confrontations over first class meals. I was the first officer lax-pit leaving lax at XA50 local on dec/sat/91. The flight attendants allege that they came to the cockpit and that both pilots were sleeping. I was not sleeping and I believe that I had approximately 6 cups of coffee, dinner and a normal and routine trip. On the return trip 6 of the 7 flight attendants were replaced by crew scheduled at their own request. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: 2 observers in the cockpit signed affidavits the flight crew was not asleep. The FAA is investigating the incident since the pre takeoff briefing was in progress during takeoff with cabin attendant standing. First officer, reporter, had advised the captain the briefing was not complete. Video presentation is used. Flight crew was grounded with pay during the investigation. He has received no request for information from the FAA. Is now in training to upgrade to captain.
