Maybe not so much sidestick vs yoke, but FBW vs Direct Control. This FBW CR*P is nothing but an "arcade" game instead of having FULL control of your aircraft. Yes.....cable-operated. Old-fashioned...yes...but 99.9% reliable.
Uhmm I hope a bit better than that.

I allways cringe when I hear something discounted as "that's a 1 in a million scenario". If you do the math on departures per year one in a million is a bit on the low side...
