you’ve got that arse about. Read the report linked above . Airbus was always FMA first. It was JQ alone that changed the OEM procedure and pushed the FMA mode call / check down the list.
The change that Airbus made after this event was highlighting the extant note to the “check and read the FMA” with some additional verbiage to tell you what to read. The underlying manufacturer procedure never changed.
