In 1992 when Swissair got the Fokker 100 they had two near misses during visuals into Nice. Both around the 500ft mark during final turn when the stick shaker went off.
Before that we were taught that the auto throttle was full time unless switched off on the overhead panel.
Apparently the later 100s would automatically re engage when the gear went down.
2013 and Boeing doesn't have this feature!
