I’ve flown with captains who have come from Boeing to Airbus, most haven’t had a problem because they are experienced enough to understand that things will be different and that it’s important to ensure you know your aircraft well. There are however a few who insisted on still flying it as closely as possible to a Boeing, and funnily enough they always had difficulty.
Is it true that Qantas doesn’t read the FMA out loud? That’s very against Airbus philosophy.
