The First Officer was experienced. He had appx. 3700 hours and was also an ATPL holder. He was himself due for command shortly.

With due respect to the departed, if the First Officer had been more assertive the accident could have been averted.

It also looks like a total failure of CRM. A go around call by any pilot should be respected by the other pilot.

Let us hope lessons are learnt from this accident, and corrective steps are taken.
