Doh we're getting into a whole different discussion here. I fly a steam driven turbo prop and I don't mind admitting that, although of course I'd be up for the challenge, from what I've heard about the airbus it does not sound at all simple. Of course with practice everything becomes easy, but the more practice the merrier. It's when a few failures occur that the men from boys no doubt become distinct. I think what IS all too easy is to sit here in front of a keyboard and say 'I could do that, it'd be no problem.'.
