I personally don't worry about this issue. I'm well aware of what to do should the worst happen. I say I don't worry as I am pretty confident that fix will work. I don't worry however I am well aware of it and always highly vigilant of what's happening.
Stator Vane - you are very right. One CP pointed out to me as FO after a few months on line that I (like many many others) have a tendency to over control. Since then I conciously thoight 'make the plane do what you want, but achieve it by using HALF as many side stick inputs as you feel that you need' and that works, for me anyway, particularly in blustery conditions. There's one place we fly to that is hot, thermal and has lots of factories below the final app. I used to find myself working hard flying over this area, now it's a lot smoother and a lot easier too! Another place we fly to has a pretty short runway with a hump in the TDZ. Again it's a lot easier using less inputs.
I'm just a mere FO but any TRI/TRE/TCs got any thoughts on sidestick use?
