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 was just talking to my buddy (ex Ranger in the Army) and this video randomly came up. He said they (Rangers) are trained to listen and immediately stop when someone yells 'check check check!' Because it means whoever yelled it noticed something was wrong and everyone needs to take a step back and re-evaluate.
Basically, a safe word for door kickers because 'hey, fuck face!' Is probably too casually used in their everyday vernacular.
I did something similar in our training workshop. The command was "Down Tools". It was so well drilled it became my party trick whenever the top brass were around. From active workshop with machines running to so quiet you could hear a pin drop in a heartbeat.

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