True story: aircraft not stabilized, First Officer informs Captain, Captain ignores First Officer, First Officer tries again to begin the process of going around by alerting Captain, Captain ignores First Officer.

F/O: "Tower, XYZ is going around."

Tower: "Roger XYZ, maintain runway, heading climb 3000."

Captain snaps out of it, goes around.

Think about this: it worked; no sticky business of taking control; Captain executed the go around and, importantly, the First Officer protected the Captain.

Look after each other out there...we're colleagues, not combatants. This isn't some dumb-ass Hollywood movie with Denzyl bloody Washington.
