As far as UPT is concerned, I am a former Army H-60 pilot, and the unit is an Army Guard unit so I would only need to attend the Army Fixed Wing course, which i believe is around 2.5 months.
Majors will give you full credit for your mil flying background once you acquire a certain number of FW hours (from any source). I've seen numerous navy helo people in the reserve world getting on with legacies after 1-2 years at a regional, same for rusty pointy-nose types.
I suspect it would be about a wash as far as the civilian career goes, although more type ratings never hurt.
