Just because "others" are doing something does'nt necessarily mean they are right and safe.In such a case it takes even more courage and strength of character to stand by your own judgement and not be "lead like a lamb to the slaughter"!. .Many aircraft have limitations on max. wind speed for door opening/operation.Likewise ground equipment can become lethal in high winds.. .Could you just imagine a passenger getting injured by a door etc on such a day.Their eyes would light up with dollar signs. "Do I need a Doctor hell no, get me a Lawyer"!!
