yes, if you can fly single pilot ifr then airline flying will be easy. all you have to do is learn a new plane. when i started out i thought "oh my, i am going from flying senacas and navajos to a crj". i knew the navajo like the back of my hand... now i know the crj like the back of my hand. lots of studying and time in the plane make the job easier, and more fun.

It is everything else that comes with it that makes it hard.

Being complacent is one of the bigges problems an airline pilot has. you fly so many non-event legs that you forget sometimes that something could go wrong. every monday that i fly i review my memory items and the emergency procedures (if i don't fly on a monday then i don't do it,, i will not think about work while i am at home..
).
all in all i know it sounds like a lot, and there is nothing i could tell you that would make you not worry about it, but you will see when you get here that single pilot ifr in a GA aircraft is a lot more work than flying an airliner, with 2 pilots, and atc that "seems" to give you a little more attention.
