Airbus 321/320/319 drivers
This may seem like a silly question..actually there are two questions.
1. To any left handed Airbus FO's and any right handed Captains, did you initially find it awkward using the control stick when you began on Airbus?
2. To the FO's who have recently moved to the LHS and are now Captains, was it again awkward using the sidestick with the opposite hand?
Thanks for your replies...

BTW, this is not something that is particular to Airbus drivers. All pilots will experience this transition... You always have one hand on the throttle(s). Students fly with their left hand, IPs with their right (except in aircraft with dual throttles and "real" sticks"). F/Os have right hand on stick, Cpt left.
