Spent years flying steam powered dial cockpitted heavy helicopters in some of the worst weather conditions imaginable with a cockpit layout that had been sneezed onto the panel by a dyslexic monster.

Fixed wing glass cockpits in the airline industry has to be one of the cushiest, easy flying numbers available, even in bad weather on a tricky approach it isn't that difficult.

The conversion from Sikorsky S61N to Airbus was the proverbial piece of pi$$, if you'll excuse the phraseology.
