PBL:
Bubbers44's second sentence (below) referred to TAM, his first referred to SWA.
bubbers44:
The computer wouldn't allow ground spoilers or auto brakes and questionable thrust control on this landing and it is also pilot error?
The computer 'wouldn't allow'* ground spoilers or autobrakes because in the likeliest scenario, the pilots failed to configure the aircraft correctly for landing. The thrust settings according to the FDR trace are completely consistent with the A/THR remaining in SPEED mode - no 'questionable' about it.
Regardless of whether you're flying an A320, 747, F-16 or a Sopwith bleeding Camel, you retard all throttle controls in the flare - and if you don't you're in trouble, especially when a short field is involved. The technology has bugger all to do with it.
* - I don't like this turn of phrase at all, smacks of the misinformation about the A320 system being there to inhibit pilots again.
