(A statment to the avaition gods... not coming at this post with the hubris of belief that my hill is somehow forever above the high water mark. Just that, as of today it seems more and more fellow airlines pilots are starting to have to tread water and it's still rising. *as I knock on wood*)

I can't wait to fly any of them. I went through the short course, so the vast majority of my training in the 300 and 400 series was running the ECAM while my FO flew. I've got way way more take offs than landings. 🥴
The good news is that after 8 years flying Airbii aircraft, I'm finally an ECAM master.

Thats a shame because the training program is heavily designed towards a Captain-FO setup. I was lucky enough to go through it with an FO but a lot of pilots are going through A-A right now. It would have been nice to have more FO's in the pipeline to make training smoother for those Captains, since they obviously were needed.

If you go through by yourself, with a seat filler, that can be a good deal....only two hours in the sim per day vs. 4. I did that going through as a mad dog FO, back in 2006. It was my second time going through the Maddog program (I checked out on it in July/August 2001 the first time ) and I had all kinds of free time. That can get boring though, being stuck in a hotel on VA. Ave for a month.
