So the SOP is the ultimate authority now?

He doesn't have the authority (THY SOP) to call the go around, and the capt. won't (for whatever reason), so he's stuck with the unstable approach
I think common sense should have prevailed, not blind obedience to the SOPs.

The FO's (or any other pilot's) ultimate goal should have been to fly/land the plane safely. If an SOP risks bringing you into a dangerous situation I don't think it would be wise to adhere to it!
