My post re: autothrottle interaction was directly in context and solely in reference to the article in the Seattle Times as reported by D. Gates and reporting on very recent statements by a retiring FAA engineer (and former Boeing employee). That's the entirety of the reference. (And, as SLF/attorney I didn't make any statement at all about what that specific interaction was, could have been, or otherwise - just noting the reliable reporter's news article . . . although this context seems to have been not stated specifically....)
