It's TOD in a B717. The auto throttles come creeping back. There's an objet perched NOT where it SHOULD be behind them. And, well, ya know..........
It's be one of those videos where the caption is "wait for it........wait for it.........BOOM"
Man, that would be a FUN video to watch. Probably the proverbial "Christmas tree" in the cockpit, some w-t-effery, etc.
Altitude is ALWAYS a pilots friend.....
Those guys did it right on their screw up, too! The moment they got into the gate, they were making all the phone calls and fessing up to what happened! Immediate improvements were made to the 717 cockpit as a result.
