One interesting thing (of many) on the message marciovp posted is the pilot stating that there are so many different softwares installed on the Airbus, so all A320 are different.
I can imagine a fleet of 40 Aibuses A319 through A321, some are 25 years old, each one with it's own "software package" (TAM?) and the pilots figuring out which "package" his plane has for that flight...
Another interesting thing is that is not strange for an Airbus pilot to hear about computer misreading TLA. It is a training issue in the Sim, there is a procedure for TL malfunction. Like the pilot said, "you look at the TL, and it's there, at idle..."
By the way, I don't think flyingnewbie10 "booed" your post. That was the "sound effect" of the impact of your post.
Thanks for your post, marciovp.
