Default Re: What would you do?

Two Commandments of Commercial Aviation:

1. You get paid by the minute.
2. Never eat a crew meal in the dark.

So, considering the 1st Commandment, why chance it? Go around and try another approach or go to your alternate.

And as to the comment about not risking your life for $90k a year...You NEVER get paid enough to risk your life or the lives of your passengers. Remember the old saying:

There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old,bold pilots.
