Flying The A350: Airbus’s Most Technologically Advanced Airliner
Airbus and Boeingare betting their futures on a new generation of long-range widebody twins with better fuel efficiency, lower operating costs and reduced noise and emissions compared with today’s two- and four-engine widebodies. (aviationweek.com) 更多...

You would think that in all the time past AF447 that they would have linked sidesticks in some fashion. I also noticed that Throttle levers had to be changed in position prior to turning off AP in order to prevent a thrust surge. 36 years in the pointy end of a Boeing, there are some things I cannot understand.
With all the whiz bang on the AB's I'm not sure they understand it all.
For sure they do not understand the importance of linked sticks. There can only be 1 control. That is one of the first things noted in this review.
The dash 8 has linked yokes, and yet this happened...

Confusion and incompetence can take any plane down. Harping on a design feature which you proudly claim you haven't had experience with won't fix anything. It's about knowing what you're doing.

You said CONFUSION an INCOMPETENCE yourself. I haven't flown it. I noted that it was one of the first things noted in this review. Although glaring to what we have all been taught with, in normal operation, it might not matter. Not having flown it, one can only suppose. That said, it was noted as a MAJOR contributing factor in the crash of AF447 and you would have thought correction would have been made then. Even some of the newer bizjet models like Gulfstream that have the sidestick controls have them linked, which just shows I am not alone in my thinking.
I would venture to say that had they been linked and Senior PNF took over, we might not be having this conversation. I think one reason they literally can't do it is French Law. Unless I am mistaken, it it's convoluted way, it would put criminal charges in the laps of those responsible.
No you are not and I have always thought it a glaring error that the control inputs are not obvious to the PNF. I am more surprised really that it is not a certification issue. It is that fundamental to me!
I know people that are experts at what they do, and who make mistakes. You'll never totally remove human factors from humankind, but that is no excuse not to include obvious and logical technology.
With all of the AB hype on here about there great AC how many times and lives has
the non linked side sticks cost? Don't see much talk about that on here but let
Boeing have a 787 problem that is minor and here come the comments.
