My, my you embark on quite a language. Maybe you forget that some employers don't like the fact that pilots feel comfortable at work. From my past and perhaps present experience a few CEO's would rather employ a monkey for flying those things because those can't talk thus cannot complain.
Now reflecting on your seat problem (siding with your problem); all manufactureres of helos should actually get their damn royal behinds on their damn products and hang in the sky for 8 or more hours a day. Then these fine specimen shall go home and play with the wife if the the screwed up backs/spines allow bed sheet acrobatics.
Haven't flown Eurocopters until now - have been a Bell dude - well the divorce is set for May 2. Actually, SASless is right...the seats of a beaten up old European car with almost 150,000 miles on it are a better fit then the 206 series seats. Amen
