[QUOTE I was flabbergasted to see that pushing thrust levers forward is not part of the go-around procedure..........and FMA annunciations not made. Right there are 2 things that could have avoided this
Pushing thrust levers forward and reading the FMA has always been part of all Boeing go-around procedures. Anyone thinking or saying that it has not been, has not been paying attention.

[QUOTE=Monarch ManWhilst on my 777 transition course at EK many years ago I made it known to anyone who would listen that over reliance on AT would end badly, I was ostensibly told to shut up as I knew nothing about how wonderful the EK training machine was.
I can’t agree with you more as I received the same treatment for voicing my concern. Before the T7, I flew the 744 for 9 years and there it was manual flight = manual for thrust! Keeping the AT on during manual flight makes you lazy and complacent!

Thats why I say someone has not been paying attention!
I have been flying Boeing since 1994 and under no circumstance has any instructor or manual ever suggested that you press a button and wait in order to do a go-around. Maybe the key to the riddle is that this was at other operators.

Pilot Flying - At the same time:
push the TO/GA switch
call "FLAPS 20"
Pilot Monitoring - Position the flap lever to 20
Both - Verify:
the rotation to go-around attitude
that the thrust increases
Pilot Monitoring - Verify that the thrust is sufficient for the go-around or adjust as needed
Excellent posts by Monarch Man and 146. I like to think that there is light at the end of the tunnel in that pilots are now trying to fly manually a bit more. But in the regaining of long lost skills, such as the basic scan, infringements are going to occur . Punitive action is applied. The corrected pilot will engage the autopilot even earlier! The light at the end of the tunnel was a train.
