+++++One of the insidious things about the non-moving thrust levers and managed speed is that the engine instrument scan becomes degraded.++++

The non-moving throttles become a non-issue as one adapts to the Bus. Yes, there is no tactile feedback as with moving throttles but remember autothrottles, if engaged, will move even if the engine is shut down so it can give false information on what the engine is doing.

After Boeings, Airbus, Fokkers, MDs and a slew of gen-av machines, the rule is play to the strengths and respect the weaknesses regardless... and if you up to your *ss in alligators it is difficult to focus on the tasks at hand.. moving or non-moving throttles.
