rr892igw, absolutely - we do the same, but slightly different philosophy in that we always leave AT in ARM on final if flying the approach manually - it's the best of both worlds, since you don't have destabilising thrust/pitch inputs, but the protections are there as you say. BA do the same I think, but I know at least one other large operator who doesn't.

It's amazing how many ways there are to skin the same cat!
