Catchup,
Must say I don't agree with your second statement.
Here's what I would expect:
Engine two with its thrustlever in the climb detent will just stay or accelerate to its corresponding thrust lever angle position, Climb detent in this case.
Why? Well, selecting #1 T/L to TOGA will make auto thrust inactive, it will go to it's Armed mode making each engine go to its TLA thrust.
#1 can now give you either TOGA, MCT or CLB ( TOGA displayed on the upper ECAM)
Again...#2 will NOT really "Follow" now #1 !! Its just going to it's thrust lever angle thrust.
Could they both go to TOGA thrust ?
NO ( #2 is limited by its detent)
To MCT ?...........NO ( Same as before )
To CLB ?...........Yes, that could be seen and knowing that TOGA will show up on the upper ECAM and that both RPM's could now be seen accelerating to the same RPM is something which can create confusion.
Thatīs the way I see all this.
Brgds.
