My understanding--I am not an aviator--is that the current Boeing controls behave this way and have for a long time. Apparently there is a lot of disagreement between the Boeing/US and Airbus/EU schools of thought, with a preference for greater mechanical (rather than electrical) interaction with flight controls on the Boeing side.

The linked article said that Boeing indeed to behave this way, and frankly I am not boarding ANY Airbus flights in the future.
