Our Captain's initial interview was conducted for us by a Flight Safety instructor. He asked the guy, "Okay, you're on about a one mile final to 30L at Minneapolis, runway in sight, airplane's properly configured, everything looks good and your FO says emphatically "Go around!". What do you do.

His response was:
TO/GA
Set maximum continuous thrust
Call for flaps 20
Maintain Vref Flaps 39 + 5 knots
Positive rate, gear up
Call the miss
Checklist please.

And then he remarked, "I have a strong preference for figuring out what's going on while moving away from the ground rather than toward it.

I liked that answer
