       | Echoes of AF447 here. I thought that Airbus makes the only
       | airliners with no feedback when there are dual inputs applied,
       | and Boeing takes a decidedly different approach. Can someone
       | experienced with this explain how this could have happened?

         | Here's an article stating exactly that:

         | Does sound like 447, and a result of the airbus' dual stick

         | copilot, so much easier to detect opposite inputs. Also the
         | yoke is right in front of each pilot, instead of on the
         | opposite sides as is the case with the dual sticks in airbus
         | planes, which could be a source of confusion/opposite input
         | problems.
