There is a difference in FBW in the busses... The "feel" in your hand is simply spring pressure which won't change at all with speed, whereas in older, hydraulic and cable beasts, the control column and cables would actually change the force required to move them with speed.
I have mentioned that before.

This accident wouldn't have happened in e.g. 727 just of the feeling on the elevator.

AND

it would not have happened with a reliable stall warning, stickshaker/- pusher.


AIRBUS, where is your extraordinary sience?

A bungee for monkeys?
