Regular Yoke vs. Side stick

[Turtle21]

So you need a Yoke to fly?? Have you made the fighter guys aware of this.....they have a right to know.

The AB is not in any way like a fighter.

Pilots love being in an AB, me included, but it is VERY different. I didn't say its good or bad.. It's very different. Let me put it this way. Compare flying to the concept of friends. There are friends in the real world and there are friends on Facebook. Both are not the same. They are very different and if you were to compare "friend-types" to Boeing and all other manufacturers... there is no doubt which friend-type AB is.

"Dual Input"?

It's a bad day if you are hearing "Dual Input".

I understand the point you are making here, but from what I have observed over the past few years is that the pilots that remain in touch with the basics and actually fly the bus like a regular old airplane end up flying it with great skill and having a hell of a lot of fun doing it. You have to be a master of the automation and a master with it all turned off.

You're right. I worded it wrong- and would defer to others w/ more experience anyway-

In any case- I'd love to have a side stick
