Does "speaking up" include turning to the captain and stating "I don't
want
to die"? That's what I was thinking about saying when I was right seat
with a (now-ex) friend that was doing something of questionable wisdom.

That should work if expressed with the proper mannerisms.

At airlines with a pilot union, there is an alternative for the meek. One
can go to the professional standards commitee with one's concerns. The
commitee will handle it anonymously on both sides.
