You could also include China Airlines 006 in that, after an engine rollback, they failed to monitor their airspeed, resulting an a departure from controlled flight. Again, an underlying issue occurred, mode confusion was not the primary reason.
Pretty incredible you’d blame the AMS
crash on anything other than pilot error
If you’re so clueless you don’t recognize
airspeed decreasing without an appropriate
response from The autothrottles, then take over and correct you are incompetent, a passenger not a pilot
Funny, we flew aircraft for decades without
AT, how did we survive?
