CaptainS - remember this was March 1994 and India. In 1988 I did my base training on a 737-200 at CWL (in a 25kt crosswind) and this included a 'throttleback' just after lift-off. HOWEVER, it was pre-briefed and the TC, Alan Howard, told me how he always had his foot in front of the 'wrong' pedal having been turned almost upside down once
