It is indeed a good article. As an experienced 737 captain I would however pick up on a couple of things he presents as fact, which I would see a little differently. For example I have never used the trim cutout switches outside the simulator. In fact I cannot remember anyone else having to either. Also manual thrust is not standard operating procedure on takeoff. You get the occasional machine where autothrust is inoperative and it is no big deal. But generally deselecting it halfway through the initial climb needs a bit of thought and is far from an automatic highly trained response. Otherwise I agree with his general direction.
