The discussion was about wether offering a financial incentive, would modify behaviour that could lead to a conflict of interests.

If you think that someone would refuse to go-around, because they would loose their bonus.

Then I really don’t understand how you can argue they wouldn’t upload extra fuel, because of the bonus
I find it frankly insulting that you think professional airline pilots aren’t intelligent enough to see the nuances of this new policy, and how it’s intended. I still disagree with your comparison to giving a bonus for not going around which is frankly ludicrous and not comparable. Clearly you don’t have much experience of modern airline ops, or the culture in your airline is very strange. There really is nothing to see here, move on.
