I 'm sorry to remind you, but "you" don't fly the bus. You, as the pilot, provide inputs into a computer through a joystick and the computer decides how IT will do what you are suggesting to fly the plane. Obviously the 777 and future boeings will also be FBW as this is the wave of the future, but the systems are totally different when compared to the bus. The 320 was basically built for no skill, no experience pilots in the third world so that even they couldn't screw the pooch.The bus hand flies very nicely, very light on the controls. Before I flew it, I thought it would hand fly like a Boeing in CWS. Not true, it's very natural.
