That's not the Airbus' fault, but the pilot's fault.


And cosmo kramer, just like Silvio Pettirossi said, you can go to TOGA to activate the GA mode and then just go to CLB thrust for a more pax and pilot friendly go-around.
Some of the A380s have a soft go-around mode installed, which will give you a 2000fpm climb if you put the thrust levers to FLEX/MCT after having selected TOGA first.
I'm sure that the A350 will have it as well. And it would be nice if Airbus can provide this feature in new A320s and A330s.
