Speaking of that A-340 incident. . . . I had recently heard that it was caused by the ground prox / ground shift cb (or such) being pulled to silence the annoying take off warning horn during it's engine run up test. Doing so put the aircraft into flight mode, releasing it's brakes.
I had also heard that this was done by the acceptance crew of the buying airline.
Anyone else hear this as the cause? Please excuse me if this was old news.
