Well I am wondering why the thrust asymmetry was missed even with moving thrust levers, (that many claim are so essential).
FWIW I have flown many different types, including the B737 classic, and I have no problem at all with Airbus FBW lack of tactile feedback. Nor do I have a problem with scanning the instruments, which is what all pilots should be doing anyway - even with moving thrust levers - this was my point really.
There is no need to "stare inside the flight-deck" - a quick glance every 10 secs or so at the PFD and the N1/EPRs is all that is required. I reckon it takes about 2 seconds to look at the PFD and the engine gauges to assimilate the situation. Easy peasy !
