The 1900 is a big step up for some folks who've only flown light slow GA stuff. Inevitably some of these folks are going to have issues with the transition. But that doesn't mean that you are going to have issues. Go into training with a positive can do attitude, an open mind and a won't/can't fail confident mindset and you'll do fine. In the past I have been an instructor for a major airline. I could always work with a guy who was having troubles but had a positive attitude. I don't work well with a bad attitude. Most of the folks I've seen fail had no confidence and a poor attitude.
