Belgique & dani, 737 is not fitted with stick pusher (no t-tail no deep-stall) merely stick shaker x2.
Belgique ref your remarks about lack of attention to speed due over reliance/confidence in Autothrottle. I have never worked in a company (and I have flown the 737 in quite a few) where you wouldn't be severely barked at on any sim or line check if you didn't follow through with your mitts even on a A/T controlled approach. I doubt Turkish are any different in this respect. From 1000ft down what else is there to look at except the glideslope localiser & speed ( I have never got the hang of doing crosswords in the last 3 miles ) I think the syndrome you refer to is much more an Airbus thing, as of course there is ( very stupidly I feel ) no thrust lever movement when using autothrust to give you a much neede tactile clue of what is going on without recourse to eyes & ears.
