When one flies automated FBW aircrafts isn't it necessary to know the limitations of automation? I think if the pilot knew that throttles will not advance by triggering the GA button then he would have pushed it manually. Inadequate knowledge of auto throttle/FD in GA mode is the cause of this accident. It's not that pilots don't read but may fail to see the trap system can get them into. Airline's OPs/TRG department needs to disseminate such information. I am sure it will be done now. If only AF447 pilots knew that you never yank the stick back in alternate law they may have survived because that's what set the ball rolling. We talk of lack of basic flying skills but now in addition insufficient knowledge automation is also getting added to that.
