Waterwings, if your mate was so concerned about the FO flying the ILS approach in such conditions then he should have taken over, that is his job as a Captain, that is why he is there.
I'm afraid Sir you have missed my point.
Yes you are spot on in regards to the job of the Captain. The point I was making is that this was the only time he had ever needed to CONSIDER the possiblity of taking over. The former GA pilots in the fleet having actually having flown in conditions like this being better able to remain on top of the situtation which was what my post primarily about...experience.
