Barit1 - I can absolutely assure you that on the MD-82/83 series of 'modern' airliners if you slam the throttles you probably will do some blade distortion or overtemp. That's because the pathetic JT8D-217/219's have ancient hydro-mechanical fuel control mated to their 'modern' engines, with no limiters. MD ran out of development money to truly modernise their creation back in '81, leaving just a souped-up DC-9.

But, agreed, on the RJ with FADEC, probably not.
