Always the soul of cordiality, Lemurian.
Thanks anyway for clarifying the calls.

Didn't know that either, thanks. About the A320 dual-purpose levers - I know that to engage reverse you pull them both back against the stops, then press the side-catches to move them into 'reverse idle,' then pull them back further for reverse thrust.
How does it work as you cancel reverse? Presumably it's the same process the other way round? Trip the catches, push the levers forward, then pull them firmly back against the stops once again to make sure that you're back in 'forward idle'?
Would it be possible, in a pressure situation, to be a bit careless, and not retard one or both levers fully after cancelling reverse thrust? Thus ending up with the ground spoilers retracted, and maybe some (highly unwanted) forward thrust as well?
