No it does not.
Selecting a specific speed when in the climb mode only affects the speed you want to use for your climb. The target EPR remains the same : climb thrust !
Do you have more data than we have ?
It takes more than a mere speed selection to command the engines towards idle thrust.
What I notice is that one month after the event, the US1549 crew still did not have a chance to have a look at the data,
their data from what happened on their own desk ...
