I'm sure the crew would be well versed that the entire reason the gear isn't raised in a wind shear escape is as the gear doors open you have a lot more drag. The last thing I'd be thinking is raising the gear, if only to cushion the now inevitable impact.

Im sure the eventual report will be very interesting reading.
