I am not complaining about commercial diplomacy.

Yoke or sidestick doesn't matter. What a 777 pilot will have difficulty is 340's 4 engines. As you know, 4 engine-system is quite more difficult to operate.

But I agree that if it's on emergency, both of pilots can land the opposite side relatively easily.
