This pilot shouldn't have pushed the TOGA buttons on the ground AT ALL! The chimp had instantly selected the WRONG motor program!
Not necessarily. If the pilot had manually pushed the thrust levers forward and established a climb rate and then pushed the TOGA buttons, once away from the runway the automatics may have kicked in and given him FD guidance and authothrottle to maintain an optimum climb rate.
So from my perspective, doing the manual stuff instinctively will keep you alive and then you rationally ask the automatics to help you out to make you look like a good pilot. But instinctively asking the automatics to help you look good AND keep you alive seems like a recipe for disaster.
