I totally understand where it is the PIC who at the end of the day who says go or no go. Do not get me wrong, I totally understand this.

As guys who are sitting in a nice comfortable job and with enough experience to tell an operator to shove it if they try, it is very easy to stand back and make these comments.

I am aiming more for the guys fresh out of flight school who have busted their asses trying to get their first job. They are so **** scared to say no when a operator tells them to do it, otherwise they are fired.
When they tell their chief pilot they are uncomfortable, they fly into a frenzy and start calling them all the names under the sun or "If I can do it, and have done it for the past (x amount of years) without crashing, why can't you?"

Does this happen here?
