Ask anyone who is actually in a regional training department. Helicopter pilots require a lot of extra training and have a difficult time during IOE. The ones with prior fixed wing time are the acceptation to the rules.

I did the RW to FW transition to 121 20 years ago, with less than 300 hours FW. Not 1 extra sim required.

Generalities don't work here. Regionals used to hire EB wonders with less than 300 hours total flight time. They mostly worked out fine. Some were turds.

Take my word for it. RW to FW is a cake walk.

I flew a helicopter once, and the coordination and skills required were insane, 10 times more complicated than flying an airplane so I believe you.
