Munich, 3000+ m of LDA. ATR with 800 kgs extra tankering fuel. Runway is 50% covered with 1/2 inch wet snow. The OPF / PLOG shows company wants you to take it. Would you not?

Best we agree to have disagreed then.

Let me put it another way: landing on contaminated runways is more than usually hazardous. Is a solely financial imperative, affecting only the balance sheet and no other aspect of the operation, and then only marginally, good enough reason to further elevate the probability of something going wrong? On my watch, it isn't.
I think you cry wolf.
