The ECAM will take some getting used to since you use it for non-normals and sys malfunctions. As you accomplish the action, that item leaves the screen.

The cockpit is comfortable with good foot rests and the instrument scan is unobstructed by a yoke. Also without the yoke, entry is a bit easier. The sidestick controller is a non-issue. Takes no time to get used to it.

I've found the harshest critics of an airplane are often fliers who have NOT flown the airplane. I saw this with guys talking about the 20 series Lears which were not hard to fly if you just paid attention to them and the mis-information about the 'bus that came from the video on the crash at Habsheim. And funny thing is that while many decry the FBW on the 'bus, most seem perfectly happy with FADECs that limit the amount of thrust you can get from the engines. So one is unhappy that you have a flight envelope but is happy with a power limit. ??
