I have no problem with their decision to try the same runway again. First attempt you gotta already know that it’s gonna go from a tailwind to a headwind at some point. Second attempt you now know when that shift is gonna occur and be able to anticipate it and adjust appropriately to maintain a stabilized approach (whatever that companies criteria is) . I’d take that over flying an approach with a quartering tailwind that shifts to a quartering headwind from the opposite direction. Two different crews can come to different conclusions based on the same info and neither one of them are wrong. To dwell on their decision making longer than a few minutes is beyond me.
