I have zero hours on any Airbus, i'll be the first to admit it! But what are thay trying to pull over pilots. For instance I can't believe anyone really likes that sidestick, it seems more of a gimmick to enable airbus to sell more aeroplanes than a real aid to the pilot- so what the pilot has more leg room- whoophy!! Further, with any normal yoke when the A/P is connected the pilot can tell exactly what the aeroplane is doing just by placing their hands on the control column, however, with that stupid sidestick you can't tell jack s*** whats happening. In addition to this the throttles don't move either, when the A/T is engaged. Give me a Boeing any day, airbus has LOST THE PLOT!! Apologies for going slightly off-topic!
