My business partner and I run a small charter operation and we disagree about how much risk to take with weather decisions and maintenance deferrals, but we've never actually had a direct conversation about our different comfort levels, so we just quietly override each other's decisions and I think our pilots and mechanics can sense the tension.
More people experience this than they realize.
You and your partner keep overriding each other on safety instead of talking about it honestly.
