Well, if the autopilot was in, yes. However, the sidestick "forces" versus the forces required to move the yoke are entirely different. Checkboard (hubby) recently did a conversion from the Boeing 737NG to the Airbus 319.

To fly it "cold" would be very difficult. They are designed on two different operating philosophies. One's fly by cable, the other, fly by wire.
