two important views !

Please compare post 1219 and post 1491. We are dealing here with two very experienced men . The Shadow's possible analysis complies a lot with the experience of a many hours 330 skipper. In 1491 once more is brought forward the design of stationary throttles. From the beginning of the 320 design this was a mistake according to line pilots from various companies, Airbus interviewed.

To my best knowledge in the very beginning of the 320 ,Indian Airlines had a accident at Madras during push back and engine start . There the tow pin broke and the tow bar sheared the ground/air wiring on the nose strut. The acft. thought it was in the air with 0 IAS and the computer gave GA thrust without the pilots noticing it. It ended up with it's nose in the terminal.

Imhu if we continue flying these planes and we will, training and pilot's system knowledge should get more attention. Yes it will cost a little more money.
