Excuses me Mr. Monkey, but is there no-one in the left seat? ohh, yeah we forget, an Indo-Capt usually who are already to dangerous to handle a Cessna let alone let them 'command' an aircraft of this size... I mean really.. Going around at 20' ft RA with 1000's of hours on type. It's common in the culture in Indonesia as well as India to lose face when doing a missed approach, that's why they both didn't do anything.
Well, I'm happy to wait for the final report to confirm but I do believe it was the RHS who were PF for that sector that lead to both the Lion Air and Merpati accidents. WRT to the Lion Air water landing, what I'm still baffled about is why the PF in the RHS handed over to the captain to do the Go Around and doing this below the MDH? Couldn't he have performed the GA himself? There's another thread about the Lion Air accident if you wish to discuss it further.
