You already said that. I asked you where you picked up this piece of information.
But never mind, as I guess because you state you live in Seattle, therefor you must work at Boeing as one of the lead engineers in charge of the 7E7, right?
edit: a whole minute worth of Googling revealed this:

Boeing has even developed a "pretty cool" sidestick control similar to the
one Airbus uses, a nod to the growing popularity of Airbus jets, but Feren
said the 7E7 will offer only the traditional yoke control.
Lufthansa raised the sidestick issue, noting the increased costs of two
different cockpits, and Buchholz said the airline would prefer not to run a
mixed fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft, without elaborating.
Hmm
