Rananim, you're absolutely right in your comments.
On a FBW airbus the PNF is always one step further behind.
He can only monitor airplane attitude and trajectory, but except from the rudder pedals inputs, he knows nothing from the PF flight controls inputs.
Therefore it is much harder to properly evaluate a situation and the tolerance margin must be largely reduced.
For the PF, a direct stick to ailerons connection would be so much more appropriate for the flare in gusty cross wind ... Toulouse could still do something about that … but regarding the side stick philosophy it is obviously too late.
It could have been an excellent option for a single crew operation, but to this day multi crew is still the way to go !
