Flying a heavy single or turbocharged piston twin is a strenuous exercise and sadly years of watching the autopilot have rendered most Airline pilots incapable of managing such aircraft again.
What a chump statement.. its sweaty and less well paid but GA flying is very achievable and slow compared to high intensity jet passenger transport flight ops
