Friend went around in nasty weather. Capt. took over next attempt and subsequently took aircraft off runway on landing. Mesa sold out both pilots and told FAA to take them to town. 709 letter on my friend's commercial certificate for an action his captain took. Mesa wanted them both to do the retest in the company sim, but wanted the pilots to pay for it. My friend made the best decision of his life and said "F off. I'm outta here." Thankfully, he was midway through the Skywest interview process when it all happened. They told him to call when he got it all cleared up. Even the FAA here told him it was ridiculously extreme. Our friendly FSDO took him up and shot one approach and called it good.
