We had another case where the crew were instructed to go around, the Fo as PF immediately set TOGA but only pitch like 5/7 degrees up probably because of Somatogravic illusion.
pineteam, if you are talking about Airbus then this is normal. Stick free Airbus FBW tries to maintain 1g path. So it only permits pitch change as a g demand through the stick. The thrust weight couple pitch up is resisted. In Airbus pilot has to raise the nose himself otherwise it will not go beyond 5°/7°. In a 737 GA thrust will cause a strong pitch up which needs to be held by forward pressure and later trimmed off. May be that becomes a habit with some pilots and they push forward without reference to the attitude.
