This thread is amazing
there is NEVER a landing on the Bus where you do not close the thrust levers.I have over 6000 hours on FBW aircraft and neither i or anybody i have flown with has had any problem in closing the thrust levers on landing. There are people on here who have no airbus experience making ill informed stupid comments about an aircraft which has an excellent safety record. At the end of the day pilots will make mistakes no matter how fail safe the aircraft is, that is why we continue to be paid well in order to make correct decisions and try and avoid accidents like these.
The investigation will hopefully find out what went went wrong so ALL pilots can learn from what happened.
RIP to all involved.
