Thankyou for that quick personality assessment but of course they had a plan B. Plan C would have been to have ditched. They also didn't,t persist with fuel wasting instrument approaches when they knew the cloud was below the minima. Obviously Dom is a mate of yours judging by your posts but when clear thinking and leadership was required the cupboard was bare. What might have helped was an assertive F\O but when the pressure is on look left. The F\O looks at the Captain and the Captain looks at his\her reflection in the window.
