We used to do the additives the way you do at your airline. Couple years ago they changed and we now do the additive regardless of whether or not you’re using autothrottles. (I’m not United)

That must be a 737 thing, not Boeing in general. The 75/76 displays IDLE on the FMA when you reach Top of Descent and at 25’ for autolands. I’ve never seen RETARD displayed.

What’s wrong with her???
