In Climb detent or in Idle, it’s a dead stick ......... If it moved, they wouldn’t have been able to leave it up in the first place, or if thrust would have gone up again, for any thinkable reason, they would have recognized the situation instantly and pulled the throttles back again.
On a earlier thread (march) I stated the following:

“Two very sound principals of professional aviation have been "best practice" or "optimum use of equipment". Not installing even the simplest feedback on AT does definitely not fit these principals, therefore the Airbus layout is not optimal."

and:

“……… I strongly believe that, with the same protections and performance, a moving AT, where the pilot can assist or interfere, is safer than a fixed one where he can either only observe or disconnect."

finally:

“I am still waiting for a VALUABLE argument as to why “dead” controls enhance safety”."

Here’s apparently one why not.
