that doesn't say "autoland" now does it?
did you break your leg jumping to that conclusion?
and this is what the NTSB said about AA at LIT:
The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable causes of this accident were the flight crew’s failure to discontinue the approach when severe thunderstorms and their associated hazards to flight operations had moved into the airport area and the crew’s failure to ensure that the spoilers had extended after touchdown.
The DL pilots did apply lessons from the LIT accident.
For all 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121 and 135 operators of
airplanes equipped with automatic spoiler systems, require dual
crewmember confirmation before landing that the spoilers have been
armed, and verify that these operators include this procedure in their flight
manuals, checklists, and training programs. (A-01-49)
For all 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121 and 135 operators, require
a callout if the spoilers do not automatically or manually deploy during
landing and a callout when the spoilers have deployed, and verify that these
operators include these procedures in their flight manuals, checklists, and
training programs. The procedures should clearly identify which pilot is
responsible for making these callouts and which pilot is responsible for
deploying the spoilers if they do not automatically or manually deploy.

Issue a flight standards information bulletin that requires the use of
1.3 engine pressure ratio as the maximum reverse thrust power for MD-80
series airplanes under wet or slippery runway conditions, except in an
emergency in which directional control can be sacrificed for decreased
stopping distance. (A-01-51)
Require principal operations inspectors of all operators of MD-80 series
airplanes to review and determine that these operators’ flight manuals and
training programs contain information on the decrease in rudder
effectiveness when reverse thrust power in excess of 1.3 engine pressure
ratio is applied. (A-01-52)
Require all operators of MD-80 series airplanes to require a callout if
reverse thrust power exceeds the operators’ specific engine pressure ratio
settings. (A-01-53)
For all 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121 and 135 operators, require
the use of automatic brakes, if available and operative, for landings during
wet, slippery, or high crosswind conditions, and verify that these operators
include this procedure in their flight manuals, checklists, and training
programs. (A-01-54)
