Rananim:
AB compound the above by having the engine in forward thrust(if the pilots forgotten to retard) actually accelerating to CLB and then deny spoilers and braking.
Nope, if I understand the logic correctly the A/THR disconnects and if a TL is in an incorrect (forward) position then the FADEC sets the engine thrust on that side to whatever the lever is set to. Initial rumour stated that the unretarded lever was at or near the CL detent, so the thrust was set to CL on that side. The way you put it suggests that no matter what position the TL is in if it is not abaft of IDLE, the computer forces CL power on that side - this is (again as I understand it) not correct.
The whole "AB is taking control away from pilots" meme should have died a death by now, because it is categorically untrue. That both TLs should be set to IDLE before touchdown, and reverse is applied has never changed.
