Hmmm
"Every other airplane"?
Don't remember such a control on the Airbus stick and you're correct, they're not on the Boeing yoke, nor are they called "trim disconnect". I think you might be referring to the stabilizer disconnect controls. They're not on the yoke....because they're not. I guess Boeing decided they had a better place to put them. Usually on the aft part of the throttle quadrant somewhere.
