Pilot Flying

Would you believe that: since it has been released that the 24 year old female F/O was handling the controls until the PIC commanded and executed the go-around, now the German public is discussing, how that can be...

I'm not disputing whether it's wise or not to let your F/O drive the ship under such conditions - this is a judgement call.

But I can already see the yellow press eagerly jumping at this story ('the handsome female copilot tried to land until the experienced Captain took over with 131 terrified pax on board..') and probably even forcing LH to be defensive in this matter.
