Just identifying a case where the simplistic SOPs would not be applicable but are mandated.
TOGA is a tool to give VERT and LAT guidance AND indicate the GA THR limit. That is it: a TOOL. We pilots must fly the aircraft first - POWER, (when the thrust is established) ATTITUDE and then trim. Even the C150 kids can do that! After we have done the pilot's stuff, then we can do some (video game) FD following. There is NO excuse for the actions (or lack thereof) of the EK crew. How many more muppets are out there, taking money under false pretences? There are only 3 critical phases in a commercial pilot's life: takeoff, landing and go around, the rest is mundane. If you cannot accomplish these 3 tasks in an exemplary fashion, 100% of the time, look for another career.
The post from our US MIL C5 colleague above says it all!
