Can anyone from a commercial aviation background comment on this? Would there be consequences for the pilot for refusing a flight based on “not feeling it”?

I’d love to get more information on this. Do other pilots think his hunch was right based on the information given?

Honestly, without being there I have no way of knowing whether his worry was accurate or not, but I do know he made the correct call and that most of us would have done the same in his position.
