What happened after the B777 crash in SFO. The pilots thought the auto throttle would save the day. Some guys chimed in here that there was a gotcha and they enlightened ones trained it to their pilots, others didn't. Was the gotcha a published one or a 'discovered' one? Did any pax start a class action claim against Boeing? I confess my ignorance and hence the question.

In Emirates case should the claim be against Boeing; others have said the switch did as advertised, so was it a known factor? Or was it more a training fault at Emirates? what is the Emirate SOP for a GA? Does it include 'check the power reading before raising the gear'? Is it written has it been trained? i.e. should the claim be against Boeing or Emirates?
