Sort out THAT and the accidents like Yoyogi (?) and AIExpress10 years ago in Mangalore will be banished and hundreds of lives saved. Apparently not worth addressing.
If you’ve got a culture where a captain thinks it’s ok to ignore calls for a go-round and instead land long on a 2200m runway at 220 kts, then requiring FOs to take over on pain of imprisonment (as you propose) is kind of missing the point and failing to deal with the root cause of the problem, don’t you think?

I’m also wondering, are the FOs a couple of you blokes seem to be flying with really that badly trained and/or bereft of ability? Is it a serious concern that they’ll be telling you to go round at 1500’ in VMC for no valid reason whatsoever?
