Loopy,
Don`t understand.Please clarify as you may have an insight into the culture of Qatar Airways.
Mode Confusion on Airbus 320 aircraft,with a reliance to correct with the disconnection of the automation and an inherent lack of CRM skills,is a cocktail for disaster.
When does an A320 have no auto thrust and no flight directors(including the bird) and flying in normal law?
Good fundamental skills raw data.The real challenge with this aeroplane is the successful management of all your assets(including the f/o) ensuring a higher margin of safety in an abnormal situation.
Mode confusion has resulted in four A320 hull losses!I won`t get into your racial slur regarding "english speaking gentleman".
