CONF iture
Sure! I am not linking the two but indicating wrong priorities. In a bounced landing GA there is no need to do anything other than thrust and attitude. Within two seconds flaps and gear was retracted indicates the crew wasn't treating this GA any differently. If briefing for this difference is not an option then perhaps following options can be considered:
1. Changing nothing because it didn't happen before and may not happen again.
2. Boeing activates the TOGA switches for all occasions and take chances if someone accidently triggers after landing or during flare.
3. Boeing deactivates TOGA auto throttle/FD mode for Go around and makes it a manual manoeuvre triggering even the FD GA mode at TOGA position.

From Airbus FCTM:

GO-AROUND NEAR THE GROUND


If the flight crew performs a go-around near the ground, they should take into account the

following:


‐ The PF should avoid excessive rotation rate, in order to prevent a tail strike.

- A temporary landing gear contact with the runway is acceptable.


In the case of bounce, the flight crew must consider delaying flap retraction


‐ The PF should order landing gear retraction when the aircraft reaches and maintains positive


climb with no possibility of subsequent touchdown..


I don't think it can be different in any aircraft
