Exactly. This auto-thrust 'hold' mode where it goes to sleep and ignores decaying IAS, seems absolutely bonkers to me, BUT pilots should always monitor their aircraft.

If the automatics are not doing what is required, the pilots need to step in and do something about it.

That is precisely why we have pilots - can you imagine the carnage if aircraft were autonomous
