Hi - I am a new user here, and am a passenger who's generally interested in aviation, and happy to talk to pilots about what they do
My question is - Can a 737 pilot fly an A320, without any practice beforehand? As in, can the 737 pilot easily pickup the controls of the A320 on the go? How about vice versa?
How about bigger planes - a 747 pilot easily picking up an A340, or a 777 picking up an A330 controls?
Are the controls for the planes standardized (I've seen Airbus uses a Joystick and Boeings use a wheel - but do they feel the same?? How about the rest of the controls?)
Apologies if the question feels a bit general...just curious
