Turbine engines are way easier than pistons.
Anyone can do it, but some will be much better at it. After instructing around the world on various types of jets, one of the things I came away with is that you simply do not know what the student is going to do and you need to be ready to take over most of the time. After 5 minutes with someone you have a pretty good idea what they are going to be like.
