Graybeard - true, but there's nothing stopping a pilot simply adding the sidestick/throttle position indicator to the scan - in fact the positioning of those gauges is designed to make it easy.
Let me make it clear again if I haven't already - I'm cool with the idea of some preferring one way over the other. It's when the old-fashioned way is put forward as superior and sacrosanct that I get a bee in my bonnet.
