Fat Dog,
> Don't tell me it REALLY disconnects the A/T ...
It does...
A330 FCOM p1.22.30
"CAUTION
If the pilot pushes and holds one instinctive disconnect pushbutton for more than 15 seconds, the A/THR system is disconnected for the remainder of the flight. All A/THR functions, including ALPHA FLOOR, are lost and they can only be recovered at the next FMGC power-up (on ground)."
Disconnect PB is either on the throttles or on the FCU (=MCP)
