I am constantly surprised by some of the replies on this thread. Either the mojority of posters are cowboys who fly around thinking their superior skills and airmanship over-rule everything or they are Microsoft sim clowns.

It has been said but to summarise - it's the companies train set, they make the rules. Doesn't matter if you don't agree with them. The crew followed these rules (a go around from a warning is not an SOP, it's a rule-there is a difference) diverted and a safe landing resulted. If, by following a rule, a safe landing is not assured (warning on finals on minimum fuel when landing performance suggests sufficient stop margin) then airmanship comes into play and the crew can make a decision on a safe course of action. These are two very different sets of circumstances.
