At some point....common sense needs to kick in.
I know that some of the guys that live in simulators would disagree.
As far as the original post, a jump seater should speak up if things get dangerous...but you better make sure you know what you're talking about! I'm not going to sit there and watch the plane crash (a la Asiana pilots in SFO).
