Double Back,
with respect you either don't understand English, don't understand Boeing , or don't understand that any escape manoeuvre trumps an overrun any day.
"I would disagree on training that. The most likely cause would be a long landing, but that would be the first mistake then. Landing long and THEN deciding to GA would be two mistakes in a row.
It gets into the field of aborting after V1, even on a long RWY."
A go-around after landing (balked landing) is one of the few ways that you can save your sorry ass if you landed too deep/fast , Boeing acknowledges this in the FCTM, the only proviso being that this option is no longer viable/recommended if you have deployed TR's.
There are a few videos on youtube of the manoeuvre being performed shortly after touchdown in places like Funchal, admittedly, it is rarely done after aircraft have properly touched down, this mainly being due to our super sharp colleagues selecting reverse ASAP (as also demanded by Boeing)
In the right (or maybe better read "wrong") circumstances it is however a viable escape plan if you haven't opened reverser sleeves, but, I have never seen it trained in Sim in 27 years of B737 Ops.
