The 777 has auotrim now as well so that is something you have to get used to in the future.
No, it doesn't.

That being said, I have never flown an Airbus, don't care to as I'm to old to learn BUT- know plenty of guys who do and are perfectly happy doing so.

Honestly, differences in the flight controls are a minuscule fraction of what it means to be a pilot.

You are responsible for safely conducting the flight and putting the aircraft where it needs to be, in one piece with everyone breathing.

The Airbi do this JUST as well as the Boeing's, even if by a different philosophy re flight controls.

Go for it, enjoy the table (yeah, I DO wish I had one) and get used to the differences in FBW architecture.

Oh- and cash the paycheck and go home!!
