Uplinker,

CRM is not about ‘rights’ to speak up! It is the appropriate participation at the appropriate time for a common goal, which is safety in aviation.

Do you think calling the cockpit while the aircraft is on the runway is a safe thing to do?

I am sure if the captain was not doing the right thing the copilot would have corrected him. Icing can happen on aircraft even in clear blue sky such as descending with cold fuel in tanks. Do you want cabin crew to call you about it? Or engine nacelles icing while crisscrossing those altocumulus, you want them to call too? Has the cabin crew been trained in these too?

Once the cabin crew interfered with the pilots operational decisions, the pilots had to do the most conservative action to defend themselves against any potential inquiry and associate repercussions. That is the real deal of life in the airline.
