Quote: This is not a fair weather job only- your duty is to try and complete your task. If you are unable to bring yourself to operate to the Caribbean in hurricane season, may I suggest another career? But to let the company down with 'I feel sick today' to get out of it? No- do your job.
I have serious reservations about this advice. Your job is to try and complete your task SAFELY. Having done the job then it is the company's requirement in law to exercise 'duty of care' towards their employees which would include intentionally placing you in the path of a hurricane.
There is already a precedent to this situation and the advice to get another career smacks of huge 'macho' idealism, airline pilots are required to exercise due concern if there is any doubt, you are doing so.
