All very well bashing up on foreign pilots. Clearly the handling pilot got it "wrong".

What if the PIC was incapacitated, through fatigue or some other reason? Is it not the f/o's job and indeed duty, to take over if he thinks there will be a crash?? It doesn't matter how inexperienced or experienced the other pilot is, that is his most important duty. If necessary get the axe out! From the CVR transcript, he was of that opinion, or he would not have suggested a go around.

Have we not moved on from, 1976, Tenerife?

When I interview a prospective f/o a question I throw in is this. "If I was carrying out an approach and you thought we were going to crash, what would be you actions??"
