In answer to Rumet's query - did the thrust remain at idle after the threshold? - today's Globe and Mail quotes the lead TSB investigator at Monday's briefing as follows: "I'm convinced there was no effort, no attempt was made to get the aircraft back up again. This crew came over the threshold with the idea to land that airplane and that's what they did". The story concludes: Flight 358 landed with only about 1500 m left on a slight down slope, with a modest tailwind and a very wet runway.
