If the HUDS are displaying critical approach, corridor, and clearance data that's one thing. I was basing my statement off of, as you said, fighter style info that's generally presented, where mine is keeping me up to date either under night vision with FLIR, or basic A/C and wpns info.
Either way, you get used to whatever you're flying but I would always prefer a HUD.

I disagree that's it's a waste, a HUDs utility goes beyond managing weapons systems. I've flown both with and without and it's not that it can't be done well without it, but it does provide the information in an easier format. And it can definitely make for better landings, the Flight Path Marker really simplifies things. Your comment about FLIR makes me think you fly helos. Does your HUD display in your helmet, or is there also one mounted above the glareshield?

Both. They've hired a ton of instructors so that should help. And they had locked down extra 145 sims in Paris and were going to start sending new hires there starting this summer. The deal was pretty much done with Flight Safety but the company FAA wouldn't sign off on it.
