Narrative:
I was on a normal passenger flight to kalaupapa on the island of molokai. One of our company aircraft entered the pattern as I was about to turn left downwind for runway 05. As I was about to turn left base the company aircraft cut me off so I extended my downwind leg to avoid close quarters. As I was turning a 1 mi final company aircraft called a 1 mi base. I knew that he was crowding me in the pattern. When I was touching down I said over the radio that I was going to turn at the end of the runway and taxi back to the ramp. Company aircraft never called his final. When I turned around and started taxiing down the runway, company aircraft cam east at me at about 50' above me and initiated a go around. Company aircraft then turned over the terminal causing great alarm to passenger on the ground and in my aircraft. Had company aircraft lost an engine there would have been a collision. I have had other incidents with this pilot. I have reported this to management, but they have failed to take action. Other pilots have been cut off in patterns at different airports. Having had 3 other incidents with this pilot, I plan on going to the FAA for some kind of legal action against this pilot. I feel that I have done everything to avoid a confrontation with this pilot in the past. People like this should not be flying endangering other peoples' lives. I sincerely hope the FAA can do something since the company I work for refuses to take the appropriate action.
