All aircraft, no matter who made them, needs a pilot to fly them. They may or may not have experience in this plane but they can fly it. They all fly basically the same so the throttle hand and the yoke hand should be coordinated by now. If you are flying any aircraft you should be able to do a 3 degree approach and land without a lot of procedures. Just learn how to fly any airplane and use basic pilotage and forget about the special Airbus procedures. A lot of Boeing guys actually transitioned to Airbus and did ok with Boeing procedures. As I said before if you let automation cause an incident you lose credibility as a pilot.
