for me it' s simple, don't hire ex military pilots.
these guys want land at all cost. I know it, I flew with military pilots...
maybe not all, but when you have been trained in the military for 20 years, it 's very hard to change habits. 
FlyHelico, obviously you did not undergo a western-type UPT; i can´t remember there has ever been a economic pressure by a CEO in commencing an approach in my military time, but i remember an IP who had been busted by higher command, just because of commencing an approach for a missed approach training purpose, when the wx-conditions were below published minima.
Sounds a little bit like one of this guys had been hired where you´ve been rejected..??
t's better to miss the lead story at 6 . . . than to become the lead story at 11.
