Back when the air carriers first got TCAS, I recall a infamous S.E. US
part 121 carrier going around over the threshold at Hobby 13R because
he got a TCAS WARNING. He explained that it was his company policy to
go-around anytime TCAS alerted. Of course it was clear and a million,
no vehicles or aircraft on the runway. Hobby Tower nor the other pilot
on frequency were NOT impressed with that decision. The TCAS Warning
orginated from a transponder being benched tested in a hangar.

I would have gone around too. The problem is not with the pilot
but the procedure. I bet after the many thousand dollar mistake
the airline changed its procedure. In general, procedures are
there for a reason. I fly light a/c. You're probably flying
heavies for a part 121. I'm sure you have one, two or maybe
even three procedures to worry about. I bet I'm preaching
to the choir. ;-) ;-)
