After 2000 hours on the A320/ 319 at crosswind central, BHX. The aeroplane is an absolute pig in high winds. In a strong turbulent crosswind it is a real handful.
The fact that the thrust levers do not move, causes huge problems. For instance, by the time you have looked at the cyan arc, worked out the FMAs, too often the situation is out of control.
The whole design of the aeroplane is dedicated to keeping the pilot out of the loop. And that is not a good thing.
When all is going well it is a brilliant place to work. When it starts to unravel, it goes to worms horribly quickly.
All in my opinion.
