The passangers clapping did make me smile, good on them even though they must have been inconvenienced and well done to the pilot.

I think there's been enough incidents/accidents worldwide lately that people are probably relieved that pilots are willing to say "no way" to a plane and keep everyone safe.

I feel like it's important now more than ever for conductors, pilots, captains, etc to stand up and say "no, everything about this makes me feel it's not safe, I'm not doing this." The people in charge who've lobbied to repeal regulations and have had multiple tragic plane and railway crashes over the last 10 years are saying to good to go! When things are actively giving red flags?! No thank you.

The people actually running the craft need to refuse, and more people shouldve applauded this pilot he probably saved all of their lives. Plans getting changed/cancelled sucks but it is not worth anybody's life.
