At the risk of beating a dead horse, I still can’t fathom why Airbus would ever consider unlinked cotrols. Very troubling.
Yes, a major contributor to the Air France Airbus 330 that crashed into the Atlantic in 2009, i believe. One pilot had no idea that the other was exerting full rearward force on his side stick. I think, that at the time, that was the reason why Boeing stayed with conventional control columns to get that visual indication.
