More experience doesn't always equal smarter. True, understanding another perspective can be helpful, but in this case he made a decision to not fly when he was uncomfortable and not only that, he actually contacted the aircraft manufacturer and they told him he absoultly made the right call. I don't see how it gets any more clear. Plus, the chief pilot was not PIC on the flight. The company's actions on this were deplorable. Why is anyone playing Devil's Advocate here???

Seriously!
