alt Hacker NewsAm a pilot, this is totally wrong.
PIC authority is strictly limited to in-scope items, this very obviously wasn’t in scope unless it was e.g. causing other passengers to behave in an unruly manner.

thanks for clarifying, this whole thread was sounding a bit ridiculous
The Pilot in Command (PIC) holds absolute, ultimate responsibility and final authority for the operation and safety of the aircraft.
Also, in another reply you state, "aircrew has actual legal authority which stems from the fact that they’re aircrew."
Do your pilot credentials include an ATP cert?
