B727-200 FLIES THROUGH ASSIGNED ALT DURING FLC INTERPERSONAL DISPUTE AT EWR.

Narrative

WE HAD DEPARTED RWY 22L EWR AND WERE FLYING THE EWR 6 DEP WITH AN ALT RESTR OF 2500 FT. SHORTLY AFTER DEP; TWR HANDED US OFF TO DEP. DEP WAS BUSY; SO I WAS NOT IMMEDIATELY ABLE TO CONTACT THEM. IN THE MEANTIME; I WAS CALLING OUT THE TURN TO 190 DEGS; FLAP RETRACTION SPDS; AND THE 2.3 DME; AND THE TURN TO 220 DEGS. AT THIS TIME MY CAPT LOUDLY ASKED 'WHEN THE HELL I WAS GOING TO CONTACT DEP.' I LOUDLY RESPONDED THAT 'THEY ARE TALKING.' SHORTLY AFTER; I WAS ABLE TO CONTACT DEP AND THEY INITIALLY DID NOT GIVE US ANY FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS. MY CAPT THEN PROCEEDED TO YELL AND SCREAM AT ME FOR 'SPOON FEEDING' HIM INFO AND NOT CONTACTING DEP SOONER. WHILE HE WAS YELLING AND SCREAMING AT ME -- WITH BOTH OF OUR ATTNS NEEDLESSLY DIVERTED DURING A CRITICAL PHASE OF FLT -- HE FLEW ABOVE OUR 2500 FT RESTR UP TO 2900 FT WHEN HE NOTICED HIS ERROR. HE QUICKLY STOPPED YELLING AND DSNDED THE AIRPLANE BACK TO 2500 FT. THE CAPT'S POOR ATTITUDE; POOR JUDGEMENT; HIS LACK OF CRM UNDERSTANDING AND ITS ACCUMULATIVE EFFECT ON HUMAN PERFORMANCE; SURELY LED TO THIS INCIDENT. THIS CAPT IS GOING ON MY NO-FLY LIST! IF THIS SIT WERE TO OCCUR AGAIN; I WILL TRY TO PAY LESS ATTN TO THE CAPT'S YELLING AND MORE TO THE FLYING.
