Thats just the point, to Go Around to increase power, you/ TOGA move the thrust levers forward, simple 'pilot stuff'. If you have an automatic aid to help, you don't discard the 'pilot stuff,' if the auto system is mishandled as in this case, or fails, you just sit hands in lap and crash?? Most airline SOP would have hands on thrust levers at least below 500ft.
Crews are loosing the ability to instinctively back up with the 'pilot stuff'.
There was no systems failure in the DXB case, just failed basic airmanship.
