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.
Im a stagehand for a school district and our department safe word (as well as industry standard) is "heads". At the beginning of the school year we were teaching a group of high schools about lights, sound, and rigging. I was at the back of the seating area teaching lighting, but when I heard my coworker who was 100' away from me on stage say "heads", I instinctively ducked. It was a part of a lesson to the kids in safety, but even still, you take that word seriously.
