rookie - the pilot was also the aircraft owner and determined in his thinking that as "he was ahead and below, he had the right of way".
I was merely a prostitute that had been hired to ride shotgun as a flying instructor who held an instrument rating.
I say agin - short of a fistfight, there was nothing that I could do (except write to Virgin and apologise [they didn't reply]).
H.D. I agree completely - but there's more, and even worse - the first encounter with the same 747 was when we were downwind and VS12 reported on frequency. Approach told him that he was going to be vectored to DVR because of a slower aircraft ahead.
Now that one just caused me raised eyebrows as I thought to myself "ATC has the bigger picture and can understand why he didn't move us first".
When he made his 12 mile call on final, I noted our DME said 4 minutes to run and alerted tower, as I let go the transmit button, approach broke in on frequency and commanded the go around.
I've never understood the ATC handling of the incident - nor forgotten it. I never flew as prostitute again. Nightmare.
