I think isolating sidesticks from view and from feedback, PLUS NO Connectivity, is a terrible idea.
Proposal: Captain, in left seat, operates his SS with right hand. F/O operates his SS with his left hand. The sticks are located on the console, the throttles on the fuselage wall, where the sticks are now.
No connectivity, no Feedback, improved "cooperative visuals" only.
No conclusions. Not yet.
Discuss?
"Climb, then!" ..... "(
), But I have hald aft stick for some time now!"
Woops.......
