Recent article quoted FAA as saying auto throttle will adjust power to maintain speed. Boing aircraft, the thrust lever actually moves when AT steps in to add power. Airbus, the throttle remains fixed.
The pilot said he noted the throttle position was not moving, but he thought the AT was going to step in and fix the problem.
