More PICs need to learn or exercise the word, "Unable" and possibly re-read what the responsibilities of the PIC are. Take one off the end and the controller is not going to be in front of the accident board.

At DFW a while back and 3 or 4 good indications of windshear (virga, big temp/dew point spread, dust devils) and ATC gave us 200 to the marker. "Unable." ATC says everyone else is doing it. "Unable." If you can't play with the big boys we can put you in holding. "Gimme vectors or the fix.. we got 2hrs of fuel.. initials and number please."

More to the story but the simple fact is we flew a stable app and didn't let the assumption of business as usual back us into a potential incident/accident.
