Does anybody of you fly the Embraer E-Jet? (EMB170 - EMB195). Does your company allow you to disengage the Auto Throttle in normal operation when flying manually on that plane?
Yes and yes! But choose the moment. And it's such a nasty and complicated aircraft to fly it's actually easier. The only downside is the wretched altitude warning when performing visual approaches. Bitchin' Betty yells her knickers off so you have to be a bit "non-standard" to silence the cow.
