I read somewhere they still use Analogue Fly-by-wire, can someone confirm this? That would be strange considering the 21 year old A320 has fully digital Fly-by-wire.

But based on this feedback I think I'll take a ride on an E90 to see how comfy they are.

And from the above link:

"The aircraft has an all-digital cockpit. The avionics suite is modular and lightweight and is based on a Honeywell Primus Epic Electronic Flight and Information System (EFIS) with five liquid crystal colour displays.

The aircraft is equipped with fly-by-wire flight control, i.e. computer-controlled, electrical primary flight control with the exception of the ailerons."
