Throttles v's Thrust Levers etc.

They are what the manufacturer chooses to call them. I'm with A Squared, if it means that much to anyone they need to get a life. Personally I prefer "Throttles" over "Thrust Levers". "8 hours Bottles to Throttles" sounds much better than "8 hours Bottles to Thrust Levers", I think. Oh, for zeBedie, not all turbo-props have Power levers, C130's have Throttles.
