Hope for mitigation

Still time to go for the official report from the regulator, so anyone's guess what happened to EK521
But if it's a late manual GO around thrust application, the crew will b hard to escape blame coz management expects pilots to ensure adequate thrust to b selected at all critical phases of each flight. Delayed actions of pilots will b culpable.
As long s there r pilots who want to join EK, do not expect management to change its course on pilot fatigue or other grouses of current pilots.

Amongst others, A/T disconnects automatically
• when either reverse thrust lever is raised to reverse idle
• if the thrust levers are overridden during a manual landing, after the autothrottle has begun to retard the thrust levers to idle
