Hmmm... Aspen and not saying no, wonder where I've heard that before... oh wait;
-------The charter customer's communications both before and during the flight, stressing the importance of landing at ASE, most likely heightened the pressure on the flight crew. According to the charter custome'ís business assistant, his employer became irate when he was informed about the possible diversion to an alternate airport. The business assistant also stated that he was told to call Avjet and emphasize that the airplane was not going to be redirected. The Avjet charter department scheduler indicated that the captain felt that it was important to land at ASE because of the substantial amount of money that the customer spent for a dinner party.
now you're rich and dead because your pilot wouldn't/couldn't say no.
