One night back in June I was sitting on a CAL 737 jumpseat heading to work in EWR. Lots of active wx on the approach. We hear a CAL flight go around. Then an American does the same. Then a FedEx 727 lands. Tower asks for a shear report from them. "Oh, I guess it was maybe + or - 20 to 30 knots most of the way down."
Then at 700 agl as I'm looking at the airspeed indicator jump all over the place, my captain calls a go around, and we divert to BWI for the night.
I gave up any thoughts of applying to FedEx that night. No paycheck is worth working for a culture that demands, or even requests, that kind of decision making from its pilots.
