There is a lot of pressure on pilots to land local. But 3 go-arounds happens, not often, but it does.

Perhaps that decision needs to be removed from the airline and there needs to be an independent decision maker there.

  • Pilots are ultimately responsible for the aircraft, that's pretty much set in stone but if ATC would tell them to divert they would unless there already was an emergency.
