I said airline should consult the manufacturer. I know airlines which have made some changes after taking airbus opinion. Especially not calling FMA issue I was surprised to know that Lufthansa does it because this particular thing airbus is fanatic about it and I know following company SOP has led to three incidents during GA which easily could have been accidents. You can read about Jet star incident after that they changed back to FMA first. In an airline conference airbus categorically supported that. Verbal or silent basically need to observe the FMA changes but in silent mode there is a chance of not monitoring. I feel silent monitoring may require higher experience level in the cockpit. Well if it works for you fine. I am expressing my opinion (about supporting airbus SOP). I know manufacturer's logic about FMA. Since you do it differently I am curios to know the advantage of doing silently.
