BAe Systems is currently undergoing development of 'active-stick' technology where sticks are driven/cross-coupled but still retain the features of the FBW sidestick system.

Enhancements such as a 'break-out' detent which permit extension of the flight envelope for emergency manouevres (GPWS etc) can also be added.

As discussed above, with proper cockpit discipline, there ought never be two pilots trying to operate the controls at the same time, whatever aircraft you fly. What happens on a Boeing? The strongest pilot wins? That sounds just as barking to me.
