Yes Andy, you're not a pilot so why do you feel your opinion is in any way relevant? There are no automated warnings on the 320 when the gear is down. Why should there be? That's what an after take-off checklist is for.
I do agree that it seems incredible that they simply didn't notice the noise, lack of performance and 3 green triangles on the dash. However, having flown around this part of the globe now for many years nothing surprises me any more.
Your last point. How the hell is radar and ATC going to figure out they have not retracted their gear?
