ATIS reporting wind 300 14 gusting to 19. ILS 22L and visuals for 11 in use. Tower reporting wind 300 at 11. "Colgan can you take 11"? Without missing a beat, "Yeah we can make that". Next five aircraft refuse. Yeah I know that the tailwind component can be 10 or less if you do some careful interperlation but is it worth it? Can you say judgement? Especially when your name isn't the best in the business.

Might want to check your facts before you start criticizing.
