Gunter,
I'm not putting words in your mouth. You posted this:

How else am I supposed to interpret that comment. If you want to clarify what you meant, then please do.

Now, you're putting words in my mouth because I never discussed an FO taking the aircraft. As you said, it's very unlikely any of us would ever encounter a situation where that is appropriate.
What I did say was an FO that identifies an approach as unstable and calls it out still has another mandatory duty (per the FOM) if the CA chooses to continue an unstable approach and that is to direct a go-around.

And I am talking in generalities related to our FOM guidance and our entire crew force, not the crew in the video. Just because your comments referred to them doesn't mean my response to your opinion is.
