Far more here than just the electric controls. Click through all the panels while rubbing your favorite TSA undergarment.

But an airline employee providing company material labelled SSI to an unauthorized person could get in deep doo-doo.
Would I hook up my good bro? Sure. Would I give up my company manual to random anonymous internet peeps? Be smart.

I'd imagine it'll happen at some point, but when it does....it'll be very limited.

I think they said that plan takes them through the current new-hire window which stops around mid-march, after which there will be the first vacancy bid between the types. From there things will readjust accordingly.

Since the start of 2019 25% of new hires are Airbus, 75% Boeing. They're holding 16-person classes that alternate between all Boeing or a 50/50 split. I assume that it's because the output of the Airbus training program right now can only handle 8 pilots bi-weekly, but who knows?

Any talk about how long the Airbuses might remain? If you get trained on them, how long would you likely be flying them?

Personally, so long as the basing worked for you, I think getting some Airbus time would be interesting (why not?) since Alaska has aligned itself with Boeing for such a long time and will likely do so going forward (absent a merger with another airline). Alaska might also find having Airbuses beneficial when negotiating new purchases with Boeing as well - Ryanair is playing that game in Europe and using an aquired fleet of Airbuses as a bargaining chip.

Plus, they're still getting a couple more Airbuses delivered.
