How many posters here would have stayed on the ground after wheels touched?
I understand your point Rat5. SOP and automation dependancy is affecting rational decision making, however the problem was not the decision to GA but the actual GA manoeuvre itself.
At our mob the GA procedure has an extra step after pressing TOGA and flaps 20, to read out the modes on the PFD including autopilot or Flight director, before calling for positive rate and gear up. One of the reasons is to ensure TOGA is annunciated and actioned. The Emirates SOP's in the appendix omits this step. Would it have made a difference? Who knows.
