I read in a couple of places that one of the benefits of Airbus going to sidestick controller vs. the traditional control column was better visibilty of the displays in the cockpit.
Since then, I've wondered, does the control wheel get in the way of any displays? In some pictures on airliners.net, especially on MD-80s and maybe 757/767s, it looks like the crt right below the main one(nav display?) is completely blocked off by the wheel. Is this the case when you are really sitting there?
