Asiana had the Autothrottles ON. Boeing told everyone, that with autothrottles ON, you would be speed protected...the plane wouldn't overspeed, and it wouldn't stall. Turns out Boeing's information to us was incorrect.

My airline is now changing their groundschool and training because of this. Our checkairman were VERY surprised to find out that they could stall with the autothrottles ON. Hopefully this accident will prevent some more serious ones in the future...
