I have so far managed to not say anything negative about anyones reponses on this forum, but now I must take exception to Instructordudes incredibly ignorant if not immature post. If you do not have the experience as you indicate than perhaps a nice STF up would be in order.

Both realms of flying are different. I can say it is more plausible for a helo DUDE to live longer flying a FW with no experience than it is for FW aviator jumping in and flying a RW.
That being said someone earlier mentioned Army and Marines do not make it to VP slots. There is probably alot of truth to that statement. Besides in generations past helos just were not cool with the fast movers. Still see it obviously today. Additionally the FW guys and Gals missed out on all that quality tent time that the Army and Corp loves...

Instructordude is a complete clown - do not even try to reason with him. He's a standard twenty something embry ridiculous or all ATP product with a few hundred hours and his CFI and thinks he actually has some air sense.

The guy has no clue and will never make it past Air Wisconsin or Chataqua because he's already managed to get himself blackballed on here with every major carrier out there.
Actually, I think, no I'm pretty sure, instructordude is uppercrust!
Spaz, yeah obviously FW time is required, but to count C-152 time in a day VFR traffic pattern and not count multi crew, multi-ship time in a highly complex airframe (UH-60,AH-64, CH-47, CH-53, CH-46 etc) is lunacy.
Again, RW time is deffinately NOT a substitute but is much more demanding than any kind of GA piston single. You are flying in a crew environment between 5-200 AGL for hours at a time at night, in formation etc etc bla-bla.
and it's also a he!! of a lot more fun... starch wing flying is soooo boring
