Maybe for the person having to go, but it's not to me.
I believe the risk of injury is greater to go-around than to continue the normal landing. And you're right. I don't like the FA to suggest a course of action to me -- just inform.
Unfortunately a FA's definition of an emergency seems to be drastically different than a pilots.
The two times we have had this situation we landed, but we were landing in JFK. The GA seems like it would be more dangerous in my opinion. Unless you were landing on a short or contaminated runway and were going to be hard on the brakes, I say just land. We told you to stay seated, if you get hurt now it is your problem.
