You go from the right seat, where you fly with your right hand and move throttles with your left to the left seat, where you do just the opposite. It's just not a big deal and you very quickly acclimate. Yes, it's a yoke on most planes, but the A-320 has side sticks and I have several friends who fly that and love it. Maybe you should see if you can get some time in someone's 360 and see if you don't get comfortable with it before you make your final decision. Skip Slater
