But ONLY as long as it's mechanically connected to the other one.
Yep that makes sense... we mechanically link them and use fly by wire in the rest of the ship....
Let's face it Boeing only difficulty to decide on side stick is a simple one: MARKETING For years they have slagging of Airbus so much on the side stick that some people even believe that it is not the best option... The only people in a position to judge are the ones that have flown both.. In LH the majority off A340 crews when interviewed on this indicated that the AI system was prefered over the 747-400s that used to fly on..... Makes ya all wonder...
So the answer is simple: yes it 99% sure will have a side stick if marketing can come up with areason why their version of this side stick is some much better! I start laughing already
