RWA,

this is all very nice, but how would you look for obvious signs for why a crew would do this mistake in the simulator? Why would you expect to find anything, if 840,000 landings with inop reverser went fine? You would require on the order of that many simulated landings to witness only one case of the problem.


BOAC,

that post by 4holerpoler seems a bit strange, not least because he said that

There is no way on the A320, barring a major malfunction or Alpha Floor Protection (which cannot activate on the ground), that an engine produces thrust above the thrust lever setting.

IF there had been this malfunction, there would have been a report and an investigation, otherwise the pilot would have been in his duties, and the thrust lever mishandling would not have been a causal factor of the incident, except when this malfunction would have been triggered by the thrust lever being "forgotten" in CL.
