Go to SKW...fly1500 hours and you'll be just fine for the big boys. There isn't that much difference between fixed and rotorwing flying except airplanes is easier. For perspective I flew Hueys in Vietnam and had to get my fixed wing experience and a BS after separating in 1971. In 1976 Delta hired me and I'm retired now finishing on the 777. Rotor to airlines is not a new idea and I was hired when it was very competitive unlike now. Be persistent and you'll succeed with whatever you choose.
