None of you have the full fact's here.. You keep your hand on the thrust levers during approach, A/THR on or off so I would be surprised if this wasn't the case with AF231.
No doubt there was a big screw up here, however I'll say it again.. This machine will damn well tell you if A/THR disconnects without any pilot input, and it will keep telling you until you do something about it.
All this talk about moving throttles, sidestick etc etc is pointless..
I would be interested in knowing what Vapp they we're flying and the GW. Defintely not going to get that info here..
