Hawk37,
Yes I believe it would. You would be warned of the overtemp by part of the EGT guage turning red. It would then be up to you to do something about it. You would then know exactly what you were doing with your own thrust at a time that may be thrust critcal.
Mr Boeing tells me that there is no overtemp protection on either our FADEC 76s or our non-FADEC 75s. I'm inclined to believe him.
Just imagine in your scenario what would happen if the EEC trimmed back your power for you to cure the overtemp and then you had an engine failure at around V1. You'd be ploughing the desert for quite some distance!
