On a recent flight out of Baltimore we were next up for takeoff. The pilot came on and appoligized because he was going to the end of the line and we will have about a 1/2 delay. He gave a reason that he didn't like some weather that he was seeing. Other planes took off and I was wondering what was with this pilot?

I'd rather fly with that pilot. I don't mind waiting out weather that exceeds the pilot's personal minimums, or judgment. I respect that.

The other pilots were probably heading in different directions away from the weather, while your pilot's course would have taken you into a storm.
