It's a roookkiiee mistake he made; comes from getting into the big bird before learning how to fly properly. As a local this was probably his first jet ever. Even if you lucky enough to fly something with a TOGA switch you always follow the throttles with your hand. As a matter of fact you supposed to have your hands on the throttle at all times below 3000 feet except at V1 rotate but for sure on a landing approach. The captain certainly didn't have the big picture. I literally kissed the ground twice in my life after sitting in the back on somebody's airline. Coincidentally it was twice on a B777, once on emirates, once on air france; just saying......
