Well, we seem to have a consistency here, sadly. Re 4HP's post, (#424) from AB,
A- During the flare at thrust reduction select ALL thrust levers to IDLE.
Can any AB pilots explain what it is in the AB operating procedures that makes this warning necessary? Are pilots 'encouraged' to keep their hand off the throttle with the inop reverser?

As someone has said, the 'Swiss Cheese' was perfectly aligned for this one. What a tragedy. Just like the Helios crash.
