Airbus did a brilliant job. The ECAM warnings and drills are extremely well thought out and works providing the crew are very strictly disciplined and follow the ECAM drills to the letter, and right to the very end of the drill.
Unless you encounter a double engine failure/flame out, where Airbus instructs NOT to follow ECAM, as it could lead to wrong decisions/switchings!!
In such a high risk upset you have to grab the QRH in the semi-dark and start reading and acting .......

Brilliant job indeed.
