Has anyone mentioned that the MEL on the A320 states very clearly that in case of one rev.inop,BOTH T/L must be set to Full rev position,thus preventing one of them being left at an angle that would give forward thrust and ensuring that the good reverser will be deployed and G/S will be activated????
It has been discussed. However, it seems a recent amendment in light of incidents / accidents similar to what is being discussed here. Furthermore, different airlines / nations may feed through MEL amendments in different ways / at different times.

I for instance was not aware of the advice changing from "don't select Rev on the Inop Rev" i.e. if our MEL has been amended, then I have not flown with 1 Rev Inop since the amendment...
