I agree with all the above comments.
The industry is still able to find pilots with the required experience and hours because there are sufficient ex-mil guys who are still of a working age.
This has been made worse by the airlines laying off pilots over the past couple of years, some of whom were previously flying the rigs, so these chaps have "become available" to the rotary market once more.
Also, the North Sea is a diminished market, reducing the demand for pilots. It is this that has driven the UK market for some years.
Because of the prevailing short-term profit mentality, rotary employers have been obliged and able to reduce their ab-initio training input to vitually nil and have had no reason to take on low-timers.
However, certainly in the UK market, the pilot population is ageing so this cannot continue indefinitely.
Although my comments are really in context of the UK, I think this is a world trend.
