Garage Years,
Thanks for the photos and yes, EMIT, there is a perspective problem with that wide-angle lens. Both pilots' seats look to be well-aft of their normal in-flight positions, particularly on the A320 photo. When I sat on the P3 seat in its central position, my knees were almost touching the back of the centre console. The A320 P3 seat is adjustable sideways (but see below).

In daylight it would be possible to see if the stick was being pushed or pulled, but it would be difficult at night due to the low illumination of the side console.
PJ2,
Thanks for that better photo of the A330 centre console, and the seat plan. When sitting in harness in the P3 seat, it is still possible to move your torso to the left or right – provided the inertia-reel shoulder harness is not locked. I think that should enable enough sideways head movement to see the left or right THS-position scale, but you may well know better! Do you have access to a sim?
In the seat-plan diagram, do you agree that both P1 and P2 seats are in the full-aft position, provided for ease of entry and exit?
And is the P3 seat moveable sideways, while remaining attached to the rear bulkhead? If so, it looks further aft than on the A320, so viewing the sidestick across the lap of a pilot may not be possible. Is it capable of being locked in more than one position, like the A320?
