TOGA on Airbus FBW can only be selected* by pushing the thrust levers fully forward. This is instinctive and logical.

Two big bad crashes have happened relatively recently to modern Boeings when the moving thrust levers did not move, and the crews apparently did not realise it and take appropriate action?

Perhaps the Airbus designers got it right after all when they made the thrust levers non-moving?


(*TOGA is automatically set if the aircraft slows into the Alpha prot region.)
