You can argue 'what ifs' all day - and I did not suggest firewalling the throttles, by-the-way - so 'what if' the gear going up at 200' ALSO catches the Captain 'by surprise' and he firmly shoves it down again? Which is the safer option? Which, in the RHS would you prefer? At least one pilot would be ready for the pitch up!
FlyingPhil - I can see no suggestion in your report of ANY interference by another crew member - I would suggest PF managed to stuff it up all by him/herself, and in fact the LACK of 'interference' is probably what caused the accident?
