Question on helicopter time.
Do the Regionals consider helicopter time worthless? If you are a dual rated pilot with thousands of hours PIC multi engine turbine in a helicopter with a few hundred hours of actual instrument and helicopter type ratings do they just not even bother to call you in for an interview?

It's not worthless, depending on the regional. However, when I was applying around, nobody would touch me unless I met the FW requirements, which in most cases were 1000TT/100MEFW.
The few that I know of who are restrictive are ExpressJet (don't count it at all) and SkyWest (2 helo for 1 FW hour up to max of 500 helo = 250 FW). Of course those two are probably the most desirable regionals nowadays, so take that for what it's worth.
