Subsequently, at 1000 feet after initiating the go around, an immediate windshear warning occurred. I said "press TOGA". He said, "no, it doesn't do anything to press it again". He didn't press it and the airplane flew through the windshear fine on autopilot with FMA THR|TOGA|TOGA.
All in the sim of course.
a) if your colleague suggests something which is the safer course (pressing toga again) you just bloody do it.
b) both of you (and I am seriously sorry to say this) have a severe lack of knowledge of the FCOM and the FCTM the questions you are raising are just not acceptable for either of you. Wind shear and the escape manoeuvre is not a question of finesse or technical knowledge. It is a basic manoeuvre that needs to be remembered and understood as well as any other memory item. Probably more so than most.
