I will keep saying this until I'm blue in the face, a simple push and hold of the thrust levers would have avoided this particular outcome

Years ago when I flew jurassic jets, one moved the thrust levers to MAX EPR for GA
I couldn’t agree more. Before the age of Nintendoes, the GA for the PM was a matter of: “Did the buddy hit the GA EPR/N1 limit correctly? Or do i have to adjust a slight over/underthrust?”. The power was always on though, there has not been one documented GA incident where the PF did not shove up the non automated levers.
Today his problem is: “Did the the buddy hit the button/position? Did he hit the right button/position? And did the Nintendo effectively obey the desired command?”. The power might not be on! -> we just invented a new threat! QED.
I leave it to everyone to judge which solution is easier and therefore safer …..
