17.On June 23,2010,a Sunny Airlines captain with 32years of experience stopped his flight from departing.He was deeply concerned about a power part that might run out of all electrical power on his trans-Pacific flight.Regardless of his concerns,Sunny Airlines pressured him to fly the airplane over the ocean at night.When he refused to put the safety of his passengers at risk,Sunny Airlines'Security removed him out of the airport,and threatened to arrest his crew if they did not cooperate.Besides that,five more Sunny Airlines pilots also refused to fly the aircraft,expressing their own concerns about the safety of the plane.It turned out the pilots were right:the power part was faulty and the plane was removed from service and finally fixed.Eventually a third crew operated the flight,hours later.In this whole process,Sunny Airlines pressured their highly experienced pilots to ignore their safety concerns and fly passengers over the Pacific Ocean at night in a plane that needed maintenance.Fortunately for all of us,these pilots stood strong and would not be frightened.
