Great job for knowing your limits, but why did it happen on the plane? The only reason I ask, is I'm assuming the winds were bad before you got on the plane and I could see a situation where other tandem instructors that felt 100% comfortable having passengers feeling uncomfortable because of the refusal. No disrespect intended, getting your passenger safe on the ground is your number 1 priority. Just curious why they would fire you over not wanting to jump in conditions you weren't comfortable with.
