It was not like I locked airplane and went home without saying anything. We had a small argument but eventually they gave up pushing me. It was perfectly doable for jet or turboprop if it had prop heat and sharp pilots. But really I could't afford the risk as we were staying home close to 3 month and straight from home to thunderstorms at night with no prop heat was too much. As I got more experience I now understand my limitations. I am no Chuck Yeager as I thought I was a decade ago. Airplanes are just a thing to get you from A to B safe and fast. I don't see any reasons why should
airline/corporate pilots push the envelope to see where that "old demon lives".
