If the pilot was converting from Airbus, and he had indeed held the throttles too tight preventing their motion, I have to ask why the engine parameters and airspeed were apparently skipped from his scan?
I also have a major safety recommendation for Boeing:
* If the autothrottle commands a power setting, and it detects the throttles have failed to move for more than 2 seconds, chime an alert STUCK THROTTLE
Just my 2 cents.
