It is quite unavoidable with a new model joining a fleet
Perfectly possible. Train the training captains first, let them have some real, non-sim experience of it on test flights, all to a plan, start revenue flights with two captains, then progressively have them train the FO's, starting with the experienced ones. It's not hard to come up with that. Isn't devising this sort of transition what the role of Chief Pilot is all about ?
