Are you suggesting that the EK captain uses his judgement and ignores the RAAS and then gets sanctioned? This is the real world, you know...

The real question should be: why did they go around in the first place?

Indeed. It has been suggested the A/T in TOGA mode worked as designed and educated. The A/T is a tool to help work load under design conditions; as are most automatics add-ons. It has also been said that RAAS was designed as an advisory tool. EK decided it should be a command not an advice, with punishment for disobedience. Is that correct?

From the inside what has been EK reaction?
1. train all crew more diligently in an RAAS GA manoeuvre including bounced recoveries and GA's.
2. rewrite the RAAS SOP to be advisory.
3. Fire the crew and ignore it ever happened.
