Amen on the comment about the sidestick controller of each pilot being out of view of opposite pilot. Also, in the A320 series, when sidestick controller are active, the flight computers will ADD the inputs of BOTH pilot sidesticks together.

Some posts ago, mention was made of the artificial feel in "conventional" yokes of FBW jets, (a big help) especially when each "conventional" FBW yoke is just that, yoked together.

Not to mention a "quirk" in the A330 where the audio stall warning signal is removed below a certain IAS, then resumes blaring should the IAS begin accelerating. Haven't delved thru the A320 manuals, so don't know if 320 series has same low speed stall warning "quirk"

Enough already of low-time idiot new age FO's and their pitiful flying skills. The overwhelming majority of jet transport aircraft losses thru the decades were by and with old school experienced Captains and FO's
