Dani,

Just to clarify the AI position: Airbus changed the method of dealing with a locked out reverser last year but gave no reason for the change. Perhaps it was linked to the previous incidents? The revision to the MEL clearly now shows that on landing with a locked out reverser, you pull reverse on both engines even though this will result in an increase (small they say) in forward thrust on the engine with the locked out reverser.
