I understand it's an 'advantage' in weight saving for the manufacturer. As a Pilot, however, my un Airbus trained brain can still not see the benefit of removing what I consider to be a vital, dynamic, mechanical cue. If the power setting is changing the throttles should move.
Non moving autothrottles just seem to be another example of Airbus Isolating and removing Pilots from the loop.
Anyway, thanks for further educating me.
