The problem here is the flight path. If VFR, all the worse to have no intervention. This would not happen at CX with our current crew compliment. No guarantees on that in the future.

When I was new here, I did a missed approach off raw data that was procedurally all wrong, but the flight path was 100% correct. TOGA was not pushed, almost none of the standard calls were made, but the aircraft flew around the radar pattern precisely. The after takeoff checklist was accomplished, and the next approach was more automated to a CX standard landing.

It was certainly a learning scenario for me but never could or would the aircraft have been flown into high terrain by me nor allowed by the cool and calm captain that day. There is a difference between "us and them" and to pretend there is not is disingenuous.
