Pulling up to the PFI's is the EGPWS pull up go-around manoeuvre and whilst it will give you the most rapid of climbs it also can activate the stick shaker which is a huge distraction to both crew members especially when so close to the ground!

Call the Go-Around, PNF selects F20, a smooth application of pitch at 2-3 degrees per second towards 15-20 degrees at landing weights with simultaneous application of full manual thrust, both engines functioning whilst monitoring the airspeed and vsi will take you between 5-7 seconds, hit the TOGA switches and follow the FD's.

Throw a stick shaker in there and your workload has gone through the roof. This is not a tricky manoeuvre from a flight position you are unsure of (unlike EGPWS!)

IMHO of course! :[
