Guys, I'm a Boeing pilot, not an Airbus one, so don't experiance the same problems that the Airbus seems to be giving you with the FMC.
Are you really saying that EVERY time you go overhead an airport that is part of the route, then it assumes you have landed?
What happens at an airfield with no radar abroad, where you go overhead the beacon for a procedural approach? Simply can't believe there is no way around your problem......
Perhaps instead of going direct to the BRI, you create a waypoint BRI270/1? Perhaps your route wouldn't dissapear, and would I'm sure be perfectly acceptable initial tracking accuracy for what ATC are trying to achieve by pointing you towards the 'overhead'.
