It also takes a 'gutsy' crew member to have the discernment to call 'Enough'
Only twice in my second tour did I ask the pilot, "Are we authorised for this?"
Notice the 'we'.
It never caused an argument, or worse an, "I'm the officer/captain" chat.
Both pilots, after the flight, but not in any formal debrief asked what the issue was, and I told them. Seemed to have a good relationship afterward, and I had no comeback.
Similarly, I was crewed with a very junior pilot who refused to be forced to fly in crap weather by an Air Commodore. Didn't do him any harm either.
Was either action 'gutsy'? I don't think so.
