Having said that I doubt that that was the reason the crew didn’t reduce the thrust. I find it unlikely that the crew had that much extra mental capacity. They were likely focused on the immediate stimulus and overlooked it. Read accident reports, watch simulator training, watch how you and your colleagues react in the real aircraft. The one big thing they all have in common is we are human.
I see my first paragraph didn’t type out well. I meant to say that the pitch power coupling on the max while substantial, isn’t a big deal either as long as the flight controls are working correctly. In this case they weren’t.
