Sad Sam,

While it's fair for non AA pilots to presume such an aura would exist, I can absolutely, unequivocally state that it's not the case. I'm not a management pilot either, BTW.

AA has, in black and white in it's Ops Specs (Pt 1), a no fault go around statement. Basically, it says a go-around is also considered a successful conclusion to any approach.

It must be noted that the disclaimer at the beginning of the NTSB prelim report defies the due process an accident investigator charged with finding the cause should administer.

I.E. guilty until proven innocent etc. Are we better aviators for hanging these guys our for learning from their experience to avoid a repeat? Your call.
