Right way up :
Maybe the announcement of "No spoilers" & "No decel" would have woken the PF to the real reason or prompted him to go-around.
Quite correct Right Way Up; (and as you say : maybe.)

Do you ever practice in the sim landings where you must decide to go-around when on the ground already ? Just for my info because I can tell you that for me the answer is : almost NEVER if not NEVER at all.
Don't you think we should practice this more and get some confidence in going around although wheels have touched concrete already ?
Don't we "commit us to STOP" once we touch the ground ?
Of course, we have to consider : if reversers are out, brakes applied, etc... but still, it would be nice to have some practice on this and see what is possible and what is not.
What are your opinions ?
