Long Range Cruise,

My post was a response to Super Ted who seemed to suggest that it was a disadvantage to have no feedback from the side-stick. I agree with you, the system is fine as it is. The issue of having no feedback or movement is one of those things that is raised by critics of the system, in reality when you operate the thing it is not an issue. Seeing as you asked I am a 320/321 Captain based at LHR, about 1700 hours on the 'Bus and about 3500 on the 737 so I have seen both sides of the debate from a practical point of view. Whilst not perfect the Airbus system is very impressive and I am most certainly a fan.
