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.
OK, It's probably a matter of semantics here, but where does it say the PM has to call for a go around. I know it says a go around shall be initiated if stabilized criteria is not met and the PM has a responsibility to call Unstable and the condition, but I don't see where it directs the PM to call for a go around if one is not initiated.
