The 'fors' and 'agins' are nicely polarised and t'was ever thus but ... am I the only one concerned about a contribution that states that (to paraphrase) "once the A/P is engaged I take my hands off the thrust levers"?
To quote an excellent training video, " remember the Airbus" - Sticky thrust lever, auto throttle reduces thrust for level-off, one comes back, the other stays put, aircraft rolls inverted, 300 plus dead, WITH HANDS ON THE LEVERS THE PF WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT WAS GOING ON!!! (yes, I KNOW that I was shouting - it worries me that much!!
