Well I hope they re-read their Airbus FCOM manuals which state the following limitation in the A330 ( I'm sure the A 320 is the same )
Edit---I've just checked and the A320 has the same limitation.
Maximum brake temperature for takeoff. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 300 C
They most likely haven't calculated performance based on gear down as well, so god help them if they suffer an Engine Failure......
