This just boggles my Mind: " I would say 80+ percent of the crews initial reaction is idle thrust and increase vertical rate. "
This is what a 727 crew did about 30+ years ago and was a much discussed item in many a recurrent class.
The mind boggling part is this...In what alternate universe does an aircraft ( ANY aircraft ) climb with thrust at Idle AND continue to accelerate no less ???
Hard to fathom the total lack of airmanship, situational awareness, and common sense.
Now...Put me in a Sim and watch me do the exact same thing as the 80% mentioned above.
DOH!
