Don't think it never happens, but compared to what I believe about other airlines, it happens at AWA less. In all my years I was "pushed" occasionally. In 12 years as a captain, <5 times where I thought it was a little extreme. And the worst case happened with someone who is no longer there. I have worked personally with most, if not all of the Chief Pilots and they are a good group, and will back you up. Dispatch will sometimes push but if you have a good reason and don't back down, they will work with you.
