Pilots shouldn’t be pressured into making unsafe decisions? Then stop pressuring them to make unsafe decisions. If the plane isn’t safe to fly for any reason, then it doesn’t take off, period. It shouldn’t be a choice for anyone.
The way airlines are acting these days, I can’t shake the feeling that the business of flying people from place to place is not the primary focus. It seems more like they facilitate flights mostly for the purpose of luring people into their poorly-lit wing of the airport where their goons can extract the real profits.
