Commuter airline safety culture?

Another pilot tells me that as he sat number 4 for take-off yesterday, two Embraer RJ's declined a take-off clearance due to the thunderstorm over the field moving quickly east and a reported 20 knot gain windshear alert on the runway by tower. The third aircraft, a Saab, accepted a take-off clearance during the windshear alert and departed.

Why such different reactions to severe weather operations?
