ELAC" one must consider the remote possibility that throttles don't work properly...either in a cable controlled, or a fly by wire.
if pulling throttles to idle is a natural and normal thing, and it doesn't work, why waste time and try again?
my little checklist is for the case when moving throttles doesn't reduce thrust.
and again, I asked if it would have saved lives in this particular case? for some reason moving the throttles didn't work, or wasn't properly done .
have you ever had a throttle that didn't work? or a fuel cutoff lever that didn't cutoff the fuel? it has happened...and will probably happen again
