When Alaska passengers put pressure on pilots to make foolish, or deadly, decisions | Alaska Dispatch
I find this to be an interesting article.
The article makes particular mention of the separation of pilots from passengers, and even Air Ambulance pilots from the patients in back, to preclude undue/unreasonable pressure from the *mission* influencing the pilot's go/no-go decisions; but this article concentrates on the *outback* type of Alaskan operations and brings up a valuable point.
I'd like to hear from past and current pilots whom have flown under these circumstances that have stories of pressure from passengers to sahre and how did you handle it, or would have handled it differently.
