B737 to the A300??

Good Evening everyone,

Just wanted a few opinions from people who may have had to do this themselves.

My current employer is asking current B737CL flight crew to join the A300 freighter fleet due to expansion.
I have mixed feelings about changing from a popular type to an aircraft which isn't really used much in todays world apart from the freighters.

On one hand the A300 is a heavy aircraft, would this look good on a CV?
It is also a very old aircraft and with most airlines now asking for glass cockpit experience such as the A320/B737NG where would the A300 fall? Would size and weight overcome the need for a full glass cockpit?

Any opinions would be very much appreciated.
