Remember:
§ 91.3 Responsibility and authority of the pilot in command.
(a) The pilot in command of an aircraft is directly responsible for, and is the final authority as to, the operation of that aircraft.
91.3 will keep you from losing your ticket, but it won't keep you from losing your job. Unless everybody gets on board, and then its a "job action". Don't forget the FSDO has signed off on the training program the newbies have completed. If you don't fly with than you're challenging the FSDO.. that doesn't sound like a really good idea.
