My bad!! I meant to say I won't go. However, I understand duress. If you text me telling me to blow off regulations, I'll go. I don't want my heir's attorney to have to work around any bullsh!t plausible deniability arguments should something happen.

I worked for a company once where the area manager put out an email stating on all weather declines the pilot was to take a screen shot of the weather and include that in a statement to him explaining why we declined. He ended the message with the statement, “help me help you.” I resigned immediately and within 3 weeks was attending training with another operator.

Yeah fúck that. I’ll send them a the photo and the taf and metar of every appropriate airport, the prog chart, winds aloft and the area forecast. Then for good measure a copy of the company’s GOM section on Pressure to Fly. Let them sort through it.

Duress is unfortunately an attorney's game. When you reply to any obvious duress in an e-mail, make sure you courtesy copy your personal e-mail and someone else that's trusted and knows the situation outside of the company. Forward any reply from the fiend as well.

"Send me that in an email and I'll do it" usually would do the trick.

It actually was in an email to all pilots in the region. Company didn’t seem to care, I didn’t push back, just resigned.

When will this insanity stop? The aviation graveyard is already full of tombstones because of these foolish decisions.

The go/no go is the most important decision a pilot makes. Get it wrong and every decision after that is compromised.

“Weather” to go, or not to go…………..That is the question.  If going is EVER a question, the answer is no.
