Fast track transition from 320 to 340/330 is a sellers point achievable only thanks to FBW attributes. I guess it is a week as opposed to 4 times that much from 37 to 5/67. In Airbus speak it is called CCQ, cross-crew qualification. The problem is, in order to benefit you need to operate both (all three) types.

Speaking of yaw, was I incorrect in thinking that there is no auto rudder? Meaning she would flex the ailerons to oppose uncommanded roll but yaw needs to be compensated manually? (no AP, stick released)
