Unless they advanced the levers to the TOGA position, which apparently they did not. It's a common misconception that the AB computer 'overrides' the pilot's command. Unless alpha floor is active (above 100ft RA) it will do *exactly* what the pilot tells it.

I am not an AB driver too but the statement of TL being some what stucked remind me the automatic TOGA done by Alfa-Floor.As you said this is turned off above 100ft RA. Any one can tell what can happened if one engine is being full throttled for take-off and the other oposing the aceleration? Could an extra power requirement to overcome the drag demanded TOGA and lock the TL as it does with Alfa floor?
