Answer :
All of the airliners have about the same degree of difficulty. About 20 years ago, the instrumentation changed from the old-style dials to electronic displays. This caused quite a bit of change because along with the display change, came the "Flight Management Computer". This gave the pilot a lot more flexibility and with that, more complexity.
At first the transition was difficult, but now the training has been perfected. Of course you "modern" folks who have been raised in the computer age will have no problem!
All of the airliners take about 5-6 weeks to learn. There is a good deal of studying systems and procedures as well as simulator time. This is assuming that the candidate is current on some other similar aircraft.
For a pilot starting a career, you need approximately 2,000 hours of flight time and as much multi-engine time as possible to be competitive in the job hunt.
I hope this answers your question,
