I find the story hard to believe. A "CLB" command causes the engines to make
the airplane climb? It doesn’t work that way.
I'm a little familiar with the 757 autothrottles and the overall Airbus logic (if you
think a modern UNIX OS looks bizarrely complex, take a look at Airbus "flight
law" sometimes);.
