It is easier to convert a pilot to glass, than convert from glass back to clocks but still not a problem.
Glass to me, was and still is a non event. It is supposed to be, that is why it is used. One thing the industry has got right.
As for "widebody" time. A load of crap. It is only an aeroplane so not reaaly worth getting excited over like some recruiters. I look infront and out the front when I fly, not behind.

Spent years flying steam powered dial cockpitted heavy helicopters in some of the worst weather conditions imaginable with a cockpit layout that had been sneezed onto the panel by a dyslexic monster.
Fixed wing glass cockpits in the airline industry has to be one of the cushiest, easy flying numbers available, even in bad weather on a tricky approach it isn't that difficult.
The conversion from Sikorsky S61N to Airbus was the proverbial piece of pi$$, if you'll excuse the phraseology.
