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.


Doesn't sound very helpful for something that is happening and real time
and might kill you.
