I thought Airbus had a 'primary control' switch to determine whose control was #master#.
Rather than 'manfully' grapple with the controls and the camera, would it not have been 'easier' to press the over-ride button and fly from the other seat?
yes - sat in comfortable armchair using hindsight but is that not training and time spent in the cruise considering 'what-if' scenarios are for - rather than getting 'bored'?
