Default Automated vs. not-so-automated vs. helicopter

I am a recently retired Army aviator looking to enter a regional 121 cockpit. My instrument time is mostly in UH-60 Blackhawks-the analog version (UH-60A). The latest posts in this thread seem a bit melodramatic. Is pushing buttons in a stable fixed-wing RJ really so difficult? Is flying the approach by hand truly that difficult? Honestly, after flying RW, these CRJ/ERJ posts have me a bit concerned- do they truly reflect the professional aviators in whom the public entrusts their lives? But then, I've never flown an RJ. I would love to hear some feedback from someone who has flown BOTH helos and RJs. Please, someone with maturity and experience, enlighten this "RJ padawan".
Thanks.
