On the B-757……a story I heard is that in original airplanes, the engines did not have the “automatic” idle bump up with engine anti ice on. The throttles had to be manually moved to a higher minimum thrust to satisfy min N1/N2 for anti-ice. Hence, no auto stow of speedbrakes with throttle out of idle.
