You can design an aircraft where you push the stick forward to go up and pull the stick back to go down and providing sufficient training is done everything will be OK.
As you know well, A designed flick switches aft for "on" and forward for "off" (meaning "I have it" and "shove it" respectively) which is the opposite of the traditional B style of forward for "on". Then you have the option of turning the A switches the other way round like the Bs for those who like the B-style switching. Convenient.
