Of course I have, DW, otherwise I wouldn't say it.

"Airbus Company Response:

"Airbus has developed a specific warning when one throttle is set to reverse while the other is above idle. This warning generates an ECAM warning "ENG x THR LEVER ABV IDLE", a continuous repetitive chime (CRC), and lights the red master warning light. This new warning is implemented in the FWC standard "H2F3".

"A Service bulletin will be issued very soon on this subject."
