BA A380

I spoke recently with a BA 380 Training Capt. During general conversation about this great aircraft he mentioned BA and the Training dept..would prefer only Airbus experienced pilots to convert, as Boeing pilots would find the conversion very difficult.
I believe the first two or three BA hulls will have only ex Airbus pilots, for faster training into service etc.
Many pilots have converted to the A320 for their Commands from Boeings and other airlines have ex 747 to A330 with no difficulty. The RAF are presently converting 2000hr. ex TriStar Capts to the A330.
Other then size, ( no jokes please) what's so difficult about flying the BA 380?
