Meteorology Depts

I get that. What I'm curious about is the opposite; that is, when DX says "go" (weather is good enough from their perspective), but the PIC says "no-go." Obviously, under the regs, PIC trumps DX. But I've always wondered about how those conversations might unfold and whether it would trigger a sit-down with the CP.
The only time I’ve had a weather cancel, even before Passenger Bill of Rights came into force, was when ATC closed the airports (two occasions). A nor’easter in NYC and a major snow storm in MSP.

The FARs are written so that no matter the weather you are most likely going anyways.

Typically something like snowing, contaminated runway, with gusty x-wind near or above "max demonstrated". The kid on the DX desk will say it's all within legal limits, but I will say some of that can change quickly, and taken together it's a very bad idea. Have the FODO call me if he has any questions. Only heard from management once, and that was to apologize.
I suppose your YYMV, but that's my experience at multiple airlines.
