@whythough.explained: Airbus gives its pilots a joystick. Boeing gives them a steering wheel. ✈️ But the real difference isn't the shape… it's who gets the final say: the pilot, or the computer. Pilot or computer?

Airbus makes more sense but i really hate the stick design. When a co-pilot becomes captain they have to relearn the fine motor skills they built up in their right arm.

I trust my pilot and want him/her making the final decision. Now, if DEI was still being pushed I might rethink that...

Computer is made to not make mistakes, pilot makes mistakes without realising.
