The usual way it works is for the airline to terminate the pilots
and let the union try to get them reinstated. Every case is
different from that point. I've seen cases that involved remedial
training and I've seen cases that involved certificate revocation.

So... are you saying that a go-around is considered a "screw-up" in
the business?

I believe Capt.Doug's message was answering the question posed in
Morgan's post enquiring about the aftermath of (in Morgan's example
the Southwest accident where they overran the runway and ended up
almost in a gas station) incidents caused by not going around, what
happens to the crews after those kinds of accident.

Thanks for the clarification, Peter. The post example that you refer to
isn't on this server, only Morgan's largely snipped question. That
completely changes the context of Capt. Doug's response!
