Yes. The engine commands, when pushed to the max can do TO/GA. Its all in the fly by wire, it was commanded. Boeing doesn't have this thanks to being free of FBW.

It was, did them pilots had their hands on the throttles? Because Throttle at max in a airbus = TO/GA.

Dude you're way too far ahead. Right now some guy is getting sucked into one of the engines and the island monster is killing the pilot.
