The fact that the speedbrakes remained extended with TOGA selected was cited as contributing factor in the AA Cali crash. Whilst is was accepted that are situations that require the speedbrakes to be deployed above idle thrust they could find no reasons why they would needed at very high power settings. A recommendation was included that suggested this feature be included in future designs. I believe that the B777 still does not have this feature, all Airbus FBW aircraft do feature auto retract with power settings of MCT and above.
