Breeze Airways pilots pressured to take off at Bangor?

Hey everyone,
I just read this CNN article, and came across an interesting bit:
>Before the crash, air traffic control audio also captured pilots of two other departing airliners discussing concerns about winter conditions at Bangor’s airport around the time of the crash.
>Pilots of Allegiant Air Flight 976 told the pilots of a Breeze Airways flight they had failed a pre-takeoff check to ensure their wings were free of snow and ice. **In the exchange, the Breeze pilots said their crew was being pressured to depart, adding, “I keep telling them this is stupid,” while Allegiant responded conditions were “not looking good” and they might end up staying overnight.**
If this ends up being true, this is not a good look on Breeze Airways at all.
