I have refused to fly in weather that met the letter of the law and rule...because it exceeded my personal limits.
I am sure all professional pilots with any experience in the business have done that....as they well should.
It just seems like the attitude here is,...Well I fly in those conditions all the time and its no big deal, so why couldn't he?
