Throttles are for recip engines.
Junebug172,
Now I know what the problem was, with B747-200/300 I flew for about 5000h, and fitted with autothrottles --- Boeing fitted the wrong engines.

In another case of "anyone can make a mistake", I note that Asiana is suing NTSB and KTVU Channel 2 in Oakland for confirming incorrect names for the four flight crew.
Look up the cause of action for the incorrect names, as reported on the AFP wire service.
Tootle pip!!
