I have yet to fly a jetliner with more docile yet responsive handling qualities. Bombardier uses fly-by-wire to tame untoward aerodynamic, configuration and thrust behaviors rather than isolating pilots from the aircraft. The semi-active sidesticks are a leap forward in situational awareness. The speed-stable control law also helps keep flight crews in the loop, providing a natural feel.
