The best pilots I have flown with we're or had helicopter pilot backgrounds.

It's easier for the basics of helo flying to transfer to f/w than vice versa. There's no opportunity "trim it out" and take your hands off the controls for starters. If Ted Striker had been a helo pilot, the 707 would have probably been ok. If he had still been the Hero of Macho Gande and tried to land a helo...well...it would have been a shorter movie.
