No problem with keeping it alive, but just to be sure you got that before answering someone's previous post
There is a modern relevancy in that Bombardier's new C-Series airliners have also gone with a sidestick system. Their sales blurb makes the point that the FBW control system has "full pilot authority", but from a purely technical standpoint, so does the Airbus system - even with full protections active in Normal Law it will comply with the pilot's commands as best it can while remaining inside the safe flight envelope.
