The previous Presidential pilot as fired from his position because He refused to do something unsafe.
A previous Chief Pilot I worked for, had a very strict and interesting rule. If you miss on the first approach, you go straight to your alternate. The only exception is if you have a very strong indication that you can make on your next try. This accident was a case in point. Almost all the approach accidents happen don't happen on the first approach. they happen on one of the re-trys.
