Flying Airbus is not like flying conv. Airplane. It's not that simple and easy to fly when in atn law and so many warning plus some protection the computer is confusing about.
When the Bus is messed up, your conventional pilot skill can't help much because when you pull the stick, the plane may not respond by raising up the pitch.
Pilots with thousands of bus hours still have difficulty pulling a level 45 bank in altn or direct law. I am a sim instructor and believe me, i see this all the time.
FBW from boeing and airbus are so different. With airbus, you don't feel anything. It s very easy to fly when there is nothing wrong, much less workload than boeing. But when things get fk up, airbus can confuse the pilot even he has ten thousand hours.
