Years ago I was on a JetBlue 320 jumpeat out of Vegas, and the CA (who was PF) delayed calling the gear up for 10 extra seconds or so after positive rate. He explained to me, "As an Airbus pilot, sometimes you want to remind this monther****er who's really the boss!"

Not a bus driver here….is that a big performance penalty? Or if a motor blows on departure is the procedure to say screw it and stow the gear or just leave it out. I’d have to imagine it is a big penalty to leave it out and trying to use one motor to climb and drag the gear.

But I wonder if a guy would get debriefed on a check ride for calling out “Starting motor number one…” or briefing a “Motor out procedure”

HAL9000 needs no reminder. It knows.
