Thought you bus-drivers could not fly man/thrust (?). Aren't those armchair pilot 'Thrust Selectors' dummy Thrust Levers ? Couple of detents on the quadrant to be hit at the same time in order to satisfy the computers and "she does it for you"..................? Now, thrust levers like in my old Boeing had to be paddled, re-checked and targeted very carefully or you could blow things like EPR, EGT etc etc..................Gosh, these clever Frenchies ; They actually have convinced you lot that YOU are FLYING the aircraft !........................Ok, crash helmet on, heading for the bunker..............incoming !
