Capt Doug,

I never in my 17,000 hours with a very profitable Part 121 carrier, had
to explain why I executed a go-around. And yes I did my share of
go-arounds.

You see time off for not executing an ATC direct go-around is just not
worth the "efficiency consideration".

Time off for landing with an unsafe landing configuration is just not
worth the "efficiency consideration".

Time off for landing at an airport in which conditions are out of
limits is just not worth the "efficiency consideration".

"The smart captain spaces himself..."


I bet ATC just loves having you in their traffic pattern.
