Kulver - I would appreciate any contact you have with 204 drivers to explain the reverse controls please. I had assumed it was similar to Boeing in that once the reversers were unlocked by an initial movement of the reverse levers these levers were raised to increase N1, yet your 'leak' says that the ?thrust? levers were moved forward to 'nominal thrust' This should not be possible on the Boeing system since the forward thrust selection via the thrust levers is inhibited mechanically when reversers are unlocked. In normal ops, no pilot would attempt to advance the thrust levers if using reverse, even if they had not unlocked - unless trying for an aborted landing.
