papsifo - I made that post for two reasons: the first is because of the never ending sequence of reports of overruns that are happening in Asia and Africa (NA and Europe aren't immune but you are top of the charts by any measure) because of the reluctance to throw away the approach and the second is the still prevalent trait in many parts (which has been largely expunged in NA and Europe) of FOs failing to challenge the captain's authority. What on earth was the FO doing, or saying, as the aircraft drifted 4000' feet down the runway- not is his job, that's for sure. I realise a major culture change is required but it's either that or keep the body bag suppliers in business.
