Metroman, I'll leave the decision to divert or not to you. But the plane is perfectly flyable. There is no need to get panicky re 'The FBW Airbus is heavily dependent on electrics and hydraulics. A steam driven airliner can continue to fly with control cables, the Bus can't that's why there is a high level of redundancy built in.'

Flight controlwhise you still have three (yes, three) hydraulic systems, four sets of spoilers, elevators, stabilizers, rudders, ailerons...all with full redundancy.
There is nothing in the list of inop systems that raises my heartbeat.
