Well, my “scenario” is strictly based on the Greg Feith statement that autopilot and autothrottles were both on the whole time...
As far as radio transmissions, of course each flight varies, but I thought it could be significant enough to mention, because operating in the terminal area, especially avoiding weather, both pilots are “typically” fully engaged in their respective duties.

If there was no altitude to target on the level window, it will just cycle through the G/A mode and then just go to ALT HOLD and open the speed window at whatever speed you are currently at.
If you have 200 ft in the mcp window and hit GA it will still command a 2k ft/min climb and never hit alt cap...it doesn't matter what you have set in the mcp window if GA mode is armed and becomes active
