I first thought that the Warning mentioned by Airbus in the "GE 536 Occurrence Investigation Report" was not implemented in the new FWC Standard H2F3 because it was not listed in the "Standard improvements"- Section of SB A320-31-1267 (newest Revision 03 is dated Aug 31/07).
But i find the Message in the "ECAM System Logic Data" of H2F3:


You get this on EWD:
ENG X THR LEVER ABV IDLE (in Red)
-THR LEVER 1.......IDLE ( in Cyan)


But changing to the FWC Standard H2F3 is not only pulling out the old FWC and install the new one.
The Aircraft must have appropriate precondition (already performed SBs etc...) and this is an extreme cost factor.
So (IMHO) many Airlines did not do this improvement due to economical reasons.
I am not happy with that, but everyone who want to cry out loud should thing about the low prices everybody strongly request.
In Germany we have an advertisement "Geiz ist geil" (avarice is great).
And now you get what you payed for; all over the world and at every airline...
Think about it...
