I agree with everything capn crunch said so figured he would get hammered severly by the AB side. Still waiting.

The yoke is such a giveaway when the other pilot has turbulence on every approach and you don't. PIO's would be harder to detect with a side stick than a yoke. With a yoke you always know who is hand flying if a captain has to intervene or vice versa. With a yoke if you have the yoke all the way forward and the nose is still pitching up you know you have to reduce power initially to regain control or roll into a bank to get the nose down to sort things out. Both pilots know what is going on, not just one. Never having used a side stick I am just using posts on this forum and an A320 pilot friend to understand how it works.
