aircraft,

Doing a go round does not indicate a pilot is inept.

If we are to compare job responsibilities and ineptitude then perhaps we could liken pre flight duties required of a pilot to due diligence required of managers.
Just as we do not operate an RPT flight unless we have consulted weather information, checked NOTAMS and completed a flight plan the same thorough preparation is required of managers before commencing a venture.
If we did not perform our duties then we would be inept. If they do not perform theirs then the same can be said.

If a venture is planned in a certain area then many considerations should be taken into account. This is a required pre venture manager’s responsibility.
If you wish to base a new airline in Singapore and tap into the expanding Chinese market then political and cultural considerations should be fairly high on your list of priorities.

A perfect example of doing neither and thus ineptitude, and has been mentioned at least twice before in this thread, is the order of priorities in relation to the Peoples Republic of China and the Republic of China.

aircraft, an unstable approach can be caused by many events occurring in a dynamic environment. A go round is not a mistake. Sometimes the words professional and pilot should not appear in the same sentence.
