Very smooth I must say.
I always thought the guys pressed TO/GA but the Capt explained that it disconnects the autopilot on the 737.
He said he can fly without but by pressing CWS and then CMD, it puts the automatics back in.
Very strange how Boeing kicks out the autopilot when you press TOGA.
Completely made up procedure, really good if you want to perform a G/A with the airplane still in APP mode. It's also a very good way to increase your workload and/or enter a low speed situation.
KLM by any chance?
