I love how this one always comes up.
Did he happen to mention how long he flew the panel? Most of the "60 & 70s" airline pilots flew the first +/- 10 years as an FE. Very few went straight to an FO seat....unless it was in a DC3 or F27. And remember, that was way before CRM and the Captains didn't let FOs touch anything but the radio.
