I asked an A330 check airman if we could be one fleet if we got the A350, and he said no way.
The official Airbus A330/A340 to A380 "transition" course is only 12 days, 4 of which is systems, which of course we would do at home.

So I can't see an A330 to A350 course being any longer, probably shorter.
Here's the A350 cockpit... different than the 330 for sure..
