So is a screw up like that a career ender for both the pilots? Opinions?
Doug? Others?

If go arounds were career enders there would be no RJ pilots left
anymore. I have seen some of the most pathetic descent planning by the
pilots of Skywest(Delta and United) and Air Shuttle(America West). They
have been given visual approach and landing clearances 40 miles out and
cannot get down. Nobody to follow just fly to the airport and land.
Can't do it. God forbid he's number three, he'll end up on a ten mile
final at 7000 AGL asking for 360's.
