Are any Airbus operators doing the same thing? (And that's with an aircraft that I believe was designed for flight deck commonality.)
Well, airbus operators usually do mixed fleet flying, as the types (with the exception of A350/A330) are not common typeratings but different ones. So pilots can use two typeratings under a relaxed training requirement scheme, but thats it. A320/A330 is kinda common, as is A330/A340. Theoretically A340/A380 could work too but i don't know of any airline that does it. I guess the most radical MFF airline is finnair as they plan to fly A320/A330/A350 as a mixed fleet. That is only possible because A330 and A350 are a common typerating, at least in the EU.

As I recall the Boeing/FAA conversion consisted of 1 day LMS ground school, 2 days of FTD, 1 day for an oral and the 1 day fo the check ride in the FTD. No full flight simulator for this course.
