There has been a great deal of pressure around this decision. You have to remember that there is unfortunately a different mindset, absolutely wrong but slowly (glacial pace really) changing. I have met a Pilot who was extremely proud of his 'battle scares', they were from a Twin Otter crash but still indicative of the attitude that permeates the industry.
Komar is still blaming faulty flaps, so what? He should have gone around or diverted to a longer runway if that was the case. A colleague was on a flight a few months ago that nearly over-ran the runway because they couldn't get full landing flaps. They elected to continue a landing at the destination with a 1.5km or more shorter runway and floated down the runway nearly overrunning They could have returned to the departure airport 45 minutes away with a much longer runway.
Have seen a morbidly funny photo of a Lion Air MD flight deck with a sticker on the captain's side saying "Not Stabilised? Go-around".
Here's hoping this sentence sends a message.
