Not for you to know, Rainboe. Are you a moderator, perchance? Sufficient to say the question was asked - "what would you do" and I have answered, and now defended my answer.
If it is any help, it has happened to me and I went round - different type - and no interview.
Just to make it clear - I am not saying it is necessarily dangerous to land straight away. Nor does 'paranoid pilot' need to worry about that double failure ie an engine in the g/a. Aviation risk is not assessed on that basis. Otherwise we would have to worry about all sorts of things. Do you plot all the asteroids via your hobby in case one might strike you during the g/a? I am merely putting forward what I think is the safest option in the circumstances described.
You have an a/c that is safely flying in that configuration. You have possibly never landed it in that configuration. A skiesfull says, you have a possible company determinant for a mandatory g/a at 500' or some other height as well. I CANNOT see why retracting the gear and moving the flap would be needed in a g/a from 3 miles either at a landing weight. Statements like "You will certainly have to raise the gear!" make me dubious.
Anyway, at the 'end of the day' it was the Captain's decision, not yours. Rule 1 applies. The decision lays with the responsibility. I am saying I think it was right. You obviously are not. That is what the forum is for. Not for 'show me your credentials' stuff.
