Thanks for the replies.
Here at AA they have always been called "Throttles." It's on all the checklists... On the Before Start checklist, "Throttles.... Closed." On a Go-around... "Throttles... TO/GA". We also call for the Autothrottles to be "Armed" and "Engaged" when cleared for T/O.
I was just curious why Airbus went with "Thrust".
