Unfortunatelly I haven't had the chance to fly the 777, not even in a sim, so I can't make any experiments, and the FLT CTL chapter in the FCOM is not very detailed. It explains little about how it works.

Airbus uses C* and Boeing C*U, right? What I don't understand exactly is how the artificial feel works in the boeing yoke. Is it only for giving cues to the pilot about overspeed, impending stall and such, or it has some relation with airspeed?

What happens in a 777 if you pull the yoke like 2 or 3º and then keep it there (all automation off). Will the pitch stop at some point like in a conventional airplane? (would that be the pitch damping feature?) Or will it keep pitching up and up? In the airbus it would keep pitching up and up until some protection kicked in.
