You gotta love this forum!

"Apparently the crew experienced an auto throttle problem (uncommanded thrust reduction). They tried unsuccessfully to increase thrust, but were unable until the auto pilot and auto throttle were switched off"
You clearly have zero concept of how basic this aircraft is - Both the flight controls and the thrust levers are mechanically linked, directly to the actuators. ie - Push the throttles forward and the MEC fuel valves on the engine will command more fuel into the cans.
Perhaps we need a closed forum for Pro-pilots.
