Can't happen fast enough, pilot shortage will be over. That's one of those things which WILL happen when technology and economics permit, but cannot happen any sooner than that. Too many stars need to line up.

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.

Don't let anyone here sell you short. Most who will comment on your qualifications have never flown a helicopter and don't know what they're talking about.
