Didn’t Michel Asseline deliberately press the autothrust disconnect for over 15 seconds on descent whilst in flight idle turning off autothrust for the remainder of the flight ?
Why does he have to "make sure" later, the TLA was 0 (IDLE) and N1 35%.
You do know that the two pilots involved were both management training captains with AF ?
