iceman, as someone who has flown both Airbus and Boeing, I stand by my comment that it's far easier to see that the other pilot is making an input with interconnected yokes than with sidesticks. In the Air France 447 case, the FO had supposedly handed over to the pilot in left seat - but he continued to pull full back stick, and with many conflicting inputs overloading him, (as many if not most of us would in a similar situation), the other pilot, (and also the captain when he returned to the cockpit), missed this.
With a yoke configuration, it would have been much more obvious because the other yoke would have been full aft as well.
