I think I read somewhere that the new 330 Neos coming will have the same flight deck as the 350. It would be great to have a common fleet type (that paid 350 rates) but then you have the classic flight deck of the classic 330s. I wonder if there is a retrofit available to change the flight deck of the current 330 to the Neo flight deck. If there was one big 330/350 category the trips would be really good.
If this is not possible to do what will they do with the different flight decks of the two 330s

Everything airbus has put out shows the cockpit displays and avionics on the NEO being virtually identical to the current 330. The windows will be from the 350. The FAA considers the two aircraft as having a common type rating if differences training is completed. They require however that currency be maintained in each airframe. That makes it difficult to fly it in one category.

Except for some black paint, the windows on the 330NEO are unchanged. Look at this 330NEO prior to painting ......

757/767 is the same type rating. 787/777 and A330/A350 are common type ratings.

Point of clarification-
330-900 flight deck is the same as the 330-200/300...with some minor updates not noticeable to the lay-person.
The -900 will have winglets that are similar to the 350. And, now, for some reason the NEO cockpit windows have the “raccoon” like on the 350. The 321 NEOs will also have the raccoon mask.
