Auto Thrust on in speed mode. Autopilot off. Less workload, in the busy New York environment. Though I would fly with both Auto Thrust/ Auto Pilot off, sometimes.. I found, after the DC-9 where thrust was ALWAYS manual, the Airbus, thrust levers were quite sensitive, and I didn't have all the power settings "memorized" for different flaps settings, configurations, unlike the DC-9.
I flew the B-767,- 200 and 300 (FADEC) much more with BOTH Autopilot and Autothrust off.
