Airbus A/P doesn't have attitude hold mode and it does not command thrust.

There is the aural warning when both sticks are out of neutral at the same time. Recorded at 2:13:03.

Consider yourself flamed.

As long as anyone claiming independent sticks on Bus are problem does not support the claim with some verifiable research, I'll consider such utterances unreliable & irrelevant.
