Well, sounds like with folks like you, there is enough stupidity already.
Because of people like you is the reason why there is no such thing as Captain Solo flying people around. Glad there is someone else up front able to keep their eye on you.

Sometimes METARs are not true representations of the weather, especially in these days of automated observations.
I can tell you the FAA wants you to use the METAR for HOT calculations though, and that’s from our POI. The tower should issue SPECI or you can request one. Regardless the company will not second guess you, as long as you can support your decision.
