They're scared despite weather being more than 2000 and 5 most days!!!! They just don't "feel right" when we fly in rain. Are you serious!?!?!? I'm not talking about a downpour that reduces visibility either.
Absolutely ridiculous.
They usually freak out when there's ANY green on the radar and start telling you how "uncomfortable" they are to fly today (i.e., No-Go).
When you're out there flying, they can't see a town about 10 miles away and start acting all scared and talking about how they can't see such and such... and even when you point out on the moving map how far away things are and the minimums we need (given your area) and how we're still 1-3 miles MORE than is required per the FARs they still act all nervous.
If they're scared to fly in rain, they shouldn't drive to work in the rain. The dangers are FAR worse there every time on the way to work (hydroplaning, people driving slower in front of you because they can't see, etc.).
