Seriously? You're trying to blame this on Delta? If I'm on short final and the controller and the controller tells me "Go around" I'm going to start to go around. And once you've started a go around at 1000 ft on final, you're not stabilized. I'd bet long odds that Delta's SOP's wouldn't allow them to pull the power back, and pitch back down to continue their approach.

Sorry, there is just no way to defend a tower controller issuing "Joke" go-around instructions to a plane at 1000 ft final.
