Just finished CMV 2. I have to agree, give the guy a break! What the FCIF does is give FO's and Captains a procedure to follow if the FO doesn't like the approach. "Go around" is a very definite and unequivocal command. If the Captain is so disoriented he can't perform a go-around then take the airplane. It does happen. And it's always been that way.

What I got out of CMV 2 and ATT as a Captain is we need to be more ready to a: take the airplane, b: command the go-around, or c: take the airplane and go-around. I'm sure you can connect the dots...

FWIW
