So you prefer the "all-electric" and largely plastic 787?
The days of cable and pulley flight controls are way behind us.
Even the antique 777 is fly-by-wire. Maybe you should explain, not delete.
I think its less being scared about fly by wire, more concerned about the microchips in between telling the aircraft what the intensions of the pilot might have been. 1:1 transmitting pilot signals "by wire" to the aircraft works fine. Understood the comments like that.
