Yeah you’re right, manual throttles, unstable approach, behind the power curve, low airspeed, Alpha floor that prohibited any further nose up pitch, low altitude and a late application of power. I completely got the auto thrust use wrong. My apologies.
The point being that the “computer” did not “override” the airplane and prevent a go around as mentioned above. The guys flying it completely messed up.
