This also opens up the issue of what constitutes sufficient training when moving amongst aircraft of the same type but different series. Would an pilot flying an old A319 be happy getting straight into an A321 NEO ? Types have now evolved over a few decades and more advanced systems have been gradually incorporated. Possibly a type rating needs to be more narrowly defined with more training given between variants ?
There is a thread running concerning the differences in rotation between the current and NEO airbus aircraft, nothing major but the pitch rate is noticeably different.
