). I think most of us would be looking at the attitude indicator or other instruments rather than glancing over at a control wheel. If you really wanted to, in a bus you can see what the other guy is doing with the stick.
I think his point was, and I agree, is that the other guy would feel the yoke being pulled back or pushed forward without having to look. I know I would. If the other guy's pulling it aft, I'm going to know.
I've never flown a bus and that is one of the reasons why. A minor reason but still a reason. Except for my UPT time, it's always been a yoke and I know what the other guy is doing with the jet.
