It’s a lot easier to have this conversation in advance and at a non-stressed time, as opposed to when said primadona is throwing a schit fit and demanding that you fly NOW. It would also make it easier in that heated moment if you could remind them that they already agreed to these terms, preferably in writing as well as verbally.
Tough situation but if I’m the pilot, I’m not willing to die for some jerk. Not saying that Kobe was a jerk, just postulating in general.  |
They aren't called PIC for nothing. "Pilot in command"! Tell the passenger to shut up and sit down!
Oh, and doctors make the worst pilots!
