BALLSOUT:
I don't see anything in the report that says the F/O didn't have his hands on the controlls. Just lots of macho guys claiming if he had, there wouldn't have been an accident. UNSUBSTANCIATED BULL!
Well, if the FO indeed had his hands on the thrust levers at the time the A/T retarded them at 2000', then what do you make of the fact that he apparently didn't consider pushing them back up before the stick shaker activated some 100 secs. later?
