The only folks we lost or almost lost were older folks with a lot of hours, who struggled to adapt to a new plane/technology/etc. The folks with a fresh 1,500 and a CFI had a learning curve on the jet stuff (V1 cuts, single engine ILS, etc.) but they tended to catch on to the FMS and other tech stuff pretty quickly, which makes a big difference. Just my own observations of a small sample size.
