I quoted the sim part at the top but chose to stay away after my friend told me his story landing at MIA when they couldn't control the aircraft so went around knowing they were going to crash, just didn't know where. Eventually they regained control and landed.

Something about a side stick control doesn't give me the confidence, especially if the FO is flying, of what is going to happen next. Mix that with a guy with low experience and another with not much more experience than the guy flying. Two pilots in a full stall and neither one could figure out why they were falling out of the sky? At least a yoke in both belly's would give them a clue. Maybe not in this case.
