Until Boeing came out clearly with the recommendation to turn it off when flying manually, my personal preference was to "deselect speed" (i.e. leave it armed) until below 100 feet, then click it off for the landing. As a devotee of Vref+5 under almost all conditions, it helped silence nervous co-pilots who wanted another 10 knots for mum and the kids on every approach! Even one as inept as I was not likely to need any further low speed protection from the 100 ft point. Autoland was the only time I left it on below 100 ft.
But now Boeing have become more definitive in advising against leaving it armed when flying manually, so who am I (or you) to go against this? It doesn't take long to get used to the idea of being responsible for one's own low speed control, after all many of us never saw an autothrottle before the B737 and managed worse aircraft quite well without it for many years.
Airlines going against Boeing's advice really should be required to put a waiver in their manuals to say that while they acknowledge the manufacturer, they know better (which in some very large airlines with a huge amount of experience with the aircraft type could be the case). And that they accept full responsibility for any variations. The real problem for line pilots arises when they come up against check pilots who insist on their own stuff which is not in the manuals. Tricky, because if they won't put it in the manual, you probably should not be doing it.
