Is that any different than flying a 727 with the left hand on the control wheel and right hand on the throttles?
I've never flown a/c with control wheel, so can't comment on the ergonomics. Sorry. But presumably, the control wheel is also designed for two handed control unlike the sidestick. I don't intend to take this in stick vs. control wheel or A v B discussion. Just answering the question honestly. I'm more interested in the the effect of pilot stick input vis-a-vis AF447. DFDR data will tell.
