I draw attention to the line in Loners post above:

''failure to take appropriate measures early enough to prevent the aircraft from ending up in a position...that resulted in a go-around''.

Think about the safety implication of that.

SIA punishes pilots who do the safest thing and perform a go around when it is a pilot-induced error that caused the go-around in the first place. I should know because I was there for just over 2 years. Tsu was most likely a victim of this unsafe intimidatory policy.

If the pilot is one the Co likes and does not cause pilot-error induced go-arounds often, he only gets "councelled".
