Boeing pitch trim
I've just started training on an airbus for the first time. After perviously having a few doubts about FBW, I think the control laws are really good. I especially like the auto trim which enables (I think) the pilot to release a lot more capacity to secondary tasks (especially when flying raw data).
I just wanted to know if any of the later boeing a/c have similar features? My only previous experience is with B737-4.
Thanks

The B777 has auto trim. Probably different in it's function and laws to the Airbus aircraft, but it does, as you say, make the hand flying task much easier
