I think they do still find it a big leap, but once made it is a welcome one. I recently saw 2 of my ex colleagues, both close to retirement age and both "joe line pilot". Both had flown the 332L for many years, then the 225 for perhaps 6 years before the grounding. They went back to the 332L, but are now finally back on the 225. I asked them whether they found it harder going from the 225 back to the 332L, or from the 332L again back to the 225. The answer was categorically that it was harder going back to the 332L, and they seriously missed all the fantastic kit on the 225 which made the job so much easier and more relaxing.
