The report does not detail the qantas discussions.
Correct.

The report DOES detail the discussions by the Virgin crew though.

So either the Qantas crew didn't discuss what to do should they not get visual or it wasn't included in the prelim report... It seems on the surface that the Qantas crew were committed to getting in on that first approach no matter what.

This isn't virgin vs qantas, this is an analysis of the facts. Deidentify the airlines involved and present this scenario to any airline pilot worth his salt and I can guarantee that the same questions would be raised.
