Old Fella,

I completely DISAGREE with what you are saying. The FO has a responsibility to his crew and passengers to, in this situation, take control of the aircraft and execute a go around.
I would expect that of an FO flying with me if I were to place the aircraft in a dangerous situation such as this.
The FO must also be punished for failing in his responsibility for passenger and aircraft safety.
If it's meant to be 51%/49% in the flight deck, then why does this suddenly change when it comes to culpability.... The FO isn't just there for the ride and should not be allowed to walk away.
The incompetence of BOTH crew members resulted in the loss of life, so BOTH should be held responsible.
