In some cases if you use a bit of lateral thinking you may be able to come up with an alternative solution to the problem that allows you to get the job done and remain within the rules. E.g. finding a way to off load pax bags out of your plane and get them to the destination via a different means, suggesting a slightly different routing to accommodate fuel/wx requirements etc.
Many ops managers aren’t pilots and don’t understand some of the intricacies of operating aircraft. If you can tell them “We’re out of limits at the moment, however we could do it this way”, you have given them an option based on your practical knowledge and experience.
At the end of the day you have to do what you feel is right because it’s your ar$e/licence on the line.
