Question

Having watched one of those "Seconds from Disaster" programmes last night, about a Korean Airlines flight into Guam, it occurred to me that as part of the dramatisation (presumed as a starting point to be based on CVR transcripts), the F/O and flight engineer were urging the captain to go around. Given the contents of this thread, and the recent one about the NZ 767 approach video, is it normal practice with Western-style CRM for a GA to be initiated if either pilot calls for it, with explanations of why (if needed) saved for when everything is back stable at altitude?
