Despegue. Are the automatics really that unreliable in the 737 that you really have to have all hands on wheel and thrust levers to 10,000ft? Surely the automatics would not have passed certification flight tests if they were that bad. Seems like a gross overkill to me - especially as the Boeing advice is to only guard the controls during a Category 3 landing.
