Yeah real dangerous that is.
That's one scenario. But (this is like pulling teeth, but we're gonna get there) what if the FO continues to disagree with you? Then your 3rd option is for naught, and you're left with the 2 options I listed. So I ask you again, what is it? Do you go around or not if you believe the FO is wrong?
Now, I asked you for a list of fatal accidents resulting from an FO's unnecessary call to GA. Do you have it yet? Do you think its bigger or smaller than my list of accidents where a Cpt thought he knew better, that there was no risk and the FO's concerns and commands to go around were ignored?
