In a conventional airplane you feel the pitch power coupling as soon as the power comes in. In a 777 this doesn't happen. In fact if you are going to climb at constant speed you don't trim at all you just pull back. If you are going to accelerate then you need to trim. About one click per 10 knots works. You just have to get it close to in trim as the plane makes the fine adjustment so there is no 1 or 2 clicks back and forth to get it perfect. If you understand this the plane is very easy te fly. Maybe even easier than an Airbus.
