Flying a manual/visual approach and messing it up (that is, go-around, nothing heroic) would be intensely embarrassing I would expect, almost a sort of bravado gone wrong, thought in other flying environments it would be considered more as a fact of life when flying a plane.
That's pretty scary. On the west coast of the Atlantic, the majority of our approaches are visuals. I'm not saying I'm immune to it, but at what point do you say "that's far enough" and command a GA. On the point of a steep gradient, in my company, if a CA ignores the FO's command to GA, there'd better be an emergency in progress.
On a (somewhat) lighter note, maybe it's time we reverse years of tradition, and let the FO fly in more challenging situations, as the CA has been the PF for the past few incidents on approach. After all, it's probably easier for the CA to see the big picture when he's PM.
