Don't forget that this procedure is new from December 2010 and therefore was not in force at the time of AF447.
Because the auto thrust disconnected, if the pilots did not move the thrust levers, the thrusts would have gone to CLB on their own (A-330 thrust levers are set t CLB detent when in cruise on auto-thrust)
That is not exact. Thrust is frozen until thrust levers are moved, so it could be anywhere between idle and climb thrust depending how was the thrust level at the time of the malfunction.
