But there are thousands of Airbus FBW pilots around the word that do not consider it a problem - this is not about *my* opinion, this is about *theirs*.
Yes Dozy, but there are thousands of pilots around the world that have NO other choice than flying yoke-less a/c.

I recently had a chat with a free-lance captain with both A320 and B 737 ratings.
He told me "when all is OK Airbus is better. In crosswind, windshear, if something goes wrong etc... B is better".

It is clear from cockpit dialogue that neither PNF or Captain (when back) had any idea of what the PF was doing with his SS.

You cannot dismiss this is a true problem.
