The big step up for some will be doing recurrent check and training in a simulator. That may washout a few of the old guard if they haven't experienced it before.

In the end it shouldn't be that hard of a task the issue will be whether the RFDS are willing to spend the money on the training.
Well said Nev:-)
There is a large diff from the slower Turbo prop to the high perf jet in just about every aspect. Lots of decision making is needed when flying a jet with limitations such as the PC24, you need to be on your toes constantly!
