I have to say that when guys say that "flying a jet is easy" or "flying a jet is easier than flying a turboprop" it is very misleading.
One of the first things I realized when I transitioned to a jet from a CE402 is that the basics are learned in the first 100-200 hrs, but it takes quite a bit more than that to develop the 360 degree awareness that is required to operate safely as a PIC, and that things can happen very fast at 8 or 9 miles a minute on an arrival.
Sure, flying something with higher wing loading that is a more stable platform and has a higher degree of automation is "easier" if you are purely a "Yoke and Throttle Operator" who "plans for the best" and is content to rely upon the automation to get the job done.
Fact is, though, that being PIC of a jet requires a certain amount of time, experience, discipline and training, especially in a non-airline environment, where the PIC must do all of the necessary operational/performance planning. Anyone who has operated 91/135 into Central/South America or even into the mountainous areas of the US knows what I am talking about here.
This is no slight to the turboprop pilots that are out there thrashing around in the weather. When they go to the right seat of a jet, it will be easier and more stable to fly, but rest assured, it will have its own challenges.
Signed, a jet pilot who hand flys all his approaches (at least until I got to an airline and have to follow their policy).
