I'd be very fine with this pilot's decision.

A good Captain protecting the people under his care.

Never ignore that gut feeling.

Heck yea, 6 hours over water is not a place to say you wished you had listen to your gut.

That's why you select pilots by ability and not dei. That guy knew because he had the goods to back it up and not put that aircraft and all those souls at risk. Outstanding call Sir.

As a pilot this is one of the first rules they teach you, make sure your plane is airworthy. If not always the best course of action is always to keep the plane grounded.

That's the pilot you want flying your family home for the holidays. 🫡

I'd rather hear the pilot say that than "smoke em, if you got em" as we're dividing towards the sea.

I salute this pilot 👨‍✈️ 🫡

The pilot is the final authority. Good on him.

Bless him. If ne’s not feeling it there’s an issue with that plane.
