just a follow up question

Er no. They stepped on the accelerator pedal briefly, whilst cruise control was still engaged, then took their foot off the pedal and were surprised with the result.
With this comparing of A vs B for this particular event, what would have happened with the Airbus if they did the same thing , advance the throttles
,which would be set at CLB and probably be forwarded to MCT as far as I know, and subsequently not follow up on that action like they did with the Boeing ?
Would the outcome have been the same ?
