I finished the report. Feel somewhat bad for Capt Piche: I'm sure he and his co-pilot didn't intend to flame out any engine and yet they did. They even had help from the ground that didn't catch the error!
It was a great piece of flying that took him to the Azores though. I feel like he is kind of like that Chinese Capt that managed to upset his own flight by restarting engines outside of SOP but somehow regaind control just a few thousand feet about to crash in the ocean. A brainfart that resulted in something bad, but was saved due to some excellent piloting after the brainfart.
If only someone on the AF447 had had the kind of anti-brainfart mindset...
