Hello folks I hope that you are all familiar with the Boeing 7E7.There is a rumour that Boeing will abandon its tradition and install sidestick controllers like the Airbus.The person who told me is an A330 pilot.Do you have any information regarding the cockpit layout. Regards Shan

Shan-No...No information available. Word of caution: Never believe what a pilot tells you. Pilots often create stories where there are none. It's a known fact that pilots don't know ANYTHING about such things except what they hear or make up themselves.... (Being one- I should know!)RSR

Actually, wasn't the sidstick always an option on the 777 but no one ordered it? I'd image it'd remain the same way on the 7E7... (just call it the 787-200 already lol!)Ryan

http://www.aerotechnews.com/starc/2000/080...light_Deck.htmlHere's something from Boeing on the "sidestick controller" idea...From reading this I'd have to say that Boeing has never seriously looked at a "sidestick" option for any of their jets.
