No internal or external confirmation was required to set the autopilot in such a drastic altitude shift
The Air Inter airlines were a fairly successful company at the time, but this was due in part to several malpractices:
Come up with some instances where the User Interface of a computer, vehicle, blender, Polylearn page, jetpack, etc. was misleading or lacking clarity, and caused you to make an error (opened the wrong file, ran out of gas, initiated self-destruct mode, etc )
Have another person design a solution to the issue, whether in training, layout, software/hardware restrictions, or even elimination of the human interaction (and thus the human error)
Autopilot “descent” display only showed value of rate of descent, not units

The mix-up was because the single display was used for two different descent modes, of which the pilot was expected to keep track
