Why do it if it's not fun?

Oh dear, I wish I hadn't started now.

I am most definitely in command. If it's not safe, then we don't go.

On the other hand, if it is safe, the next question is whether the student will get any benefit from it. In many - even most - cases, the answer in the kind of conditions we are talking about is no they won't, so we don't go. In a very few cases, the answer is yes - the student will benefit from experiencing it, or the trial lesson student will have an enjoyable experience. In this case, since it is safe, within my personal limits, and within my club limits, I'm quite happy to fly so long as the student has confirmed that what they are trying to get out of their experience can be achieved in the conditions on the day.

To say that I will "go along with his wishes despite your misgivings about the weather" is nonsense, because I have no misgivings about these kinds of weather conditions. I thought I'd made that clear?
