The next observations were within limits, but if not I would have expected them to want us to wait (it was a ~30 min flight).
100% yes. That should always be the expectation. If it's not met, run it up the ProStands flagpole, the two groups talk frequently with pretty good results. If it's in the immediate, not safe and you don't like it? Don't do it. Period. Full stop. I would expect that you'd have the support of everyone involved.
Cheers.
