From the TV program, here we have 'AGAIN' , one pilot pushing forward on his 'stick', whilst the other is pulling back on his 'stick'.

Very much the same scenario as the Air France disaster...?

The net result was a 'confused' flight computer, and the resultant crash.

Is it not possible for Airbus to have an 'indicator' of some sort on the panel adjacent to the stick, to show the position of each stick, one relative to the other?
A set of coloured lights in the 'cardinal points' configuration should be able to do it perhaps....

Just a thought for a sad event.....

Airbus drivers? Thoughts?
