both pilots had their hand on the throttle below 1000'...the copilot actually controlling the speed of the plane, while the auto pilot flew the plane and the captain was ''ready'' to takeover and land or initiate a manual go around. this was called a monitored approach.
I must say it sounds like an extraordinary complicated procedure - reminding me of the old saying "Who's up who and who's paying the rent"
