In the level off they did not set the appropriate N1 and the plane decelerated. I say children of the magenta because if the plane ain't doing what you'd like you're still the pilot at the end of the day.

We have seen the results of bad monitoring/automation complacency in multiple incidents. Asiana in SFO and more recently Emirates were both mechanically sound aircraft where the pilots did not manually adjust the thrust due to an expectation that the automation would take care of them.
