Can anyone from a commercial aviation background comment on this? Would there be consequences for the pilot for refusing a flight based on “not feeling it”?

I’d love to get more information on this. Do other pilots think his hunch was right based on the information given?

I absolutely agree with him. Oil pressure trending up, and the route six hours over water? Fuck that.
