VC10, you're overreacting. All that airbus stuff about how to fly aeroplanes should be second-nature to anybody proficient in the job. The fact that they are published just means pilots aren't trained properly any more. To be honest, I cringe every time I read that poor-English list of how-to-do-it. Not that I disagree with it, but it's all commonsense and covered by SOPs (eg FMA readouts).
Are you now going to announce that this crew didn't comply with Golden Rule number 6?
