She rarely has had to make a decision for herself as PIC, much less question a "mentor's" decision. Partly due to her lack of experience, she was quietly along for the ride.
ohhhkay my good man... this concept or instinct rather is called self-preservation... said instinct is what keeps pilots from landing in x-wind components 3 or 4 times that of their aircraft... one need not a single hour of CFI experience to figure that out... im gonna go out on limb here and say most are born with this one. apparently the aforementioned crew was not.
