Further, it seems that flight level change is not an appropriate mode for final approach, wouldn't you agree?

agreed especially if one sets G/A altitude at which point the aircraft will climb to MCP altitude....

this fellow obviously was in "airbus mode" in regards to the thrust automatics..which IMHO is a better system than the Boeing...after several thousand hours in both...both types have their merits, a properly trained pilot, and a vigilant crew can safely operate any modern jet....
