Follow-up to BMATB...

If pilot A presses the button for 40s (isn't that a REALLY long time in an emergency btw?) and takes priority, can pilot B overrule that by pressing his/her button for 40s? (Assuming now that the B sidestick will go back to NORMAL mode after a while.)

And, reading Dave Clarke Fife, is there one autopilot disconnect button and one sidestick priority button (total sum of two buttons) or are those one and the same? I have looked at Airbus sidesticks but never really thought about this before.
