So back to the serious point in hand I was simply pointing out that your original post was wrong because in reality their is a huge temptation to "give in" to certain pressures - to ignore that would be to deny the human condition.
To ignore that would be professional, and is a necessity if one intends to fly aircraft.
One had better not be giving in to "certain pressures." If one feels pressured, one had best stay on the ground.
One of the most important abilities a pilot must have is that which enables him to say "no."
Even if you think you treat them all the same subtely you dont.
I most certainly do. You should too, regardless of what you fly, and whether you get paid to do it.
I guess you would know that from when your client is the Government and you are ducking small arms fire for flag and country - a different client, different pressures and different rules.
The biggest hazard in flight was UAV's actually, and the biggest hazard between flights was mortar and rocket fire.
Different rules and regulations, yes, but personnel on board were treated no differently, and with no less courtesy, and there was no less effort at reading checklists out loud and executing them in full.
If someone pressures me, or a circumstance arises which brings to bear "pressure," it sends up a big red flag which says "perhaps we ought not do this right now." There is no flight which must be made, and if one feels pressured to make it, it's nearly certainly a warning that one shouldn't go.
