When they decided to continue an unstabilized approach, they intentionally disregarded SOP, which will exclude them from the ASAP program.
If they would have gotten the warning, went around, and filed an ASAP, then they would have been covered.
Hindsight is always 20/20, I hope these guys get back in the air.
Not so sure about that. If the Captain used his authority and decided it was safer to land than go around in the congested airspace in Chicago, I think it would have been accepted. It all depends on how he wrote the report. Of course, if you don't write one then you have zero chance of it being accepted.
