The sidestick is it what I did not like at the first time. It is the same today, just my personal thing. It has nothing to do with the liability of the Aircraft but the feedback you have in all conventional Aircraft. That suits old Guys like me...In 11 years and 5 month it is over, I retire then. Maybe Boeing was listening more to old guys like me when they created the fly by wire and used a Yoke instead of a Sidestick. Attari-Kid versus Conventional Card player.... Not a competition just a question of the next generation Aviation. Same when the first glass came and FMC came in, treated like a mystery and today? Just use the fingers over the pad and run. In the B737-300/400/500 where all Instruments aroound the ADI conventional, because nobody trusted the LCD-screens. Now the STBY Instruments in the B777 are a LCD-screen as well. Time changes, technology changes. This job needs you to advance and learn until the last day. Neverthereless is still some space left for some personal preference. I have found my way and my goal.
Fly safe land happy
