Just a thought .... if calling for a go around by an F/O (thereby over ruling the Captain's decision) is an issue for cultural reasons or other, then could this be alleviated by technology? ie, have the aircraft's systems call for a go around when an unstablized approach and landing is detected, ie, smiliar to the ground proximity warnings/TCAS alerts? I'd imagine a Captain in such circumstances would be more inclined to comply with a computer than his F/O, and the non-assertive F/O would not have to worry about the consequences either. Just my two rupiah's worth.
