Thanks James. That the FAs are calling up front tells me there needs to be guidance as to what is the best action of risk management. That, and there seems to be ZERO consensus among pilots with *thousands* of hours of 121 experience. Nobody is on the same page.

A little company guidance seems to be necessary given the likelihood of occurrence multiplied by severity of the consequences- a pax potentially being hurled violently into something or someone in either a go around or landing. Taking into consideration that each situation is unique and requiring judgment, a little guidance in the FOM and FAM strikes me as prudent.
