CafeClub:
What is the STATED logic from Airbus (they must have a reason) for input on one sidestick not to be felt on the other?
I'd love to know what their official answer is, too.

In the likely event that they haven't commented on it, I'll posit the answer:

=Cheaper=. (A bunch.)

The override buttons and lighted cues were meant to replace the need for linked (yokes). This time they didn't.

No doubt, AB and its apologists will find a way to make it "a feature," not a cost-saving, neato, toy joystick.
