Why do we continue to read about Airbus go-arounds that are so mismanaged? How difficult is it to push the thrust levers all the way forward till they won't go any further and pitch to follow the FD's?

The Capt had close to 5000 hrs on type and 14000 total time - you'd think that he would have a reasonable idea that when < 200' agl it is rather important to ensure you're going up in the event of GA. The actions on the thrust levers are also rather alarming.

I'm sure all the Airbus bashers are going to come out the woodwork - but a GA in a Bus is NOT difficult.
