Yes, it would be a real challenge with no 121. Odds are probably 50/50 at best, unless the carrier makes a very concerted effort to drag you through. Even then, a training bust or two along the way is not going to help your future job prospects.

That might depend more on the individual. If you paid attention for 1000 hours and it's on the same type that shouldn't be too difficult.
Learning somewhat different flows on the same type isn't that big of a deal if you already know systems and you "get" the airplane in question. BTDT.
