[QThere is one action however that can almost guarantee a go-around by the captain - and that is the first officer reaching over and selecting the gear lever to up while simultaneously calling "Landing Gear Up - Go Around"

My, oh my!! A disaster in the making.....you will soon be scraping the runway at low altitudes! With sufficient altitude a scary go around might be salvaged.

May I suggest, at least in modern aircrafts, hit the TOGA or Go levers first , Call " YOU MUST GO AROUND " and then select go around flaps and with positive rate of climb, then reach up to retract the gears.......if no response by then firmly state " I have control ". It will all be recorded on the CVR to save your tail.also don't forget to insist that the CVR recording be preserved by maintenance.trip the CVR cbs.
