Yes, but just a question, maybe silly, and don't want to frown anybody. Why AB has modified the TL ergonomy from the A318/319/320/21 series to the one seen in A330s A340s and A380s?

In the A318 etc. you pull the TL to be in REV mode while on the others the TL is more "Boeing-like" so to speak, with the "old fashion" reverse levers that you pull while the TL is a idle.

Could it be that AB realized that this kind of TL was more reliable, in a sense that there is a lesser chance to be caught "off guard" with it?
