Zapatas,

How about the fact that on the A320 you can only get 1/2 speedbrake deflection with the autopilot on. If you are hot and high a strategic disconnection of the autopilot to gain full speedbrake authority can be advantageous. How about you try and gain some understanding of how automation works on various aircraft before accussing others of being poorly trained.
