Completely understand the bit about 2 missed approaches, but the rest is gibberish! I believe that the ILS is presently out of service on one of the R/W's at GVA and the substitute approach is a Non-Precision approach (no Glide path information) which brings the A/C in at alot steeper angle (approx 4 degrees); this can sometimes lead to the a/c not making the stable approach criteria resulting in a Go-Around; of course there are also many other reasons including the R/W still being occupied etc.....
So, instead of bleating about it on here, why didn't you just go up front after you landed and let the crew know that, in your assessment from the back with your 2000 hours command, their flying didn't come up to your standard?

Sorry ontherazzle, you could have a 1,000,000hrs on type, I can't see how you can get the perspective correct out of a little side window when you are so used to looking through the front end, it would be totally different. I have positioned as pax on my type before and I haven't got a clue what speed we're doing etc.
Is it really that big a deal that you did 2 go-arounds? being an "experienced captain" yourself you know full well there could have been a myriad of reasons for it, and all in a day's work for a line pilot eh?
