Alycidon - that is not my personal experience. I cannot give an exact figure, but i think i have flown around ten go-arounds in the last ten years for one reason or another. All I have ever had is an acknowledgement of the ASR (Air Safety Report) followed a short time later by a one-liner from the flight data guys that the go-around was correctly flown and that the matter is now closed. If you make an honest error during the manoeuvre, you may hear something by quick telephone call and if you make a complete mess of it you will receive further sim training to ensure you do it right the next time. If, however, you continue to land from an unstable approach, you will most certainly hear a whole lot more about it and your job is at risk, as I said previously. Personally, I cannot find fault with any part of that process.
