Five Boeing types and it's always been in the manual. Just piss-poor systems knowledge and assuming instead of checking. Boeing is certainly not to blame in this matter; the culpability lays firmly with the pilots.

I can't abide these ambulance-chasing scum; they're screwing up the world for the rest of us with all the nanny state, we-know-better rules we have foisted upon us because of greedy people and greedy lawyers.
Completely agree.


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?
Lack of systems knowledge. Should have been covered in training and is explained in the manuals.

Positive rate - gear up.

We know that, and it has been said previously. My question is, what is written in Emirates SOP? If it is, and the crew didn't do it, then Emirates might be the target, not Boeing.
Yes it is written in the SOPs apart from being basic airmanship.
