Text book example of why you should go around when an approach becomes unstable. Interesting how many hours the co-pilot had; 19,000 with 5,000 on the 737. The captain had 15,000 with 9,000 on the aircraft. I also wonder why the co-pilot did both landings, particularly in somewhat challenging conditions at an airfield the company later designated captain‘s only for landing. The captain had only flown 25 hours in the last 3 months so presumably could have used the practice. Middle of the night, Covid impact on currency, company disruption potentially also distracting the crew, made for a number of holes in the Swiss cheese.
