I was told that no they are not the same, because if I get confused on an approach I can just stop and figure it out! You know, on approach... In IMC... Just stop... I just bit my lip and moved on!
I figure JetBlue is the next step. I hate the idea of giving up 1000 hours because I have the rotor smell to me!
I got that a lot from straight FW guys. They have no idea what they are talking about. I flew old-school UH-1s and if anything it only made me a better FW pilot.
