Nope.. but that gives you an edge then, doesn't it?
Seriously though, it would not surprise me to hear there was more demand for chopper pilots in NW WA, FNQ, Alice, etc. than fixed-wing, if only because typical low-time fixed-wing pilots in the same situation are really just looking for a way into an airline job and have no intention of making a career from showing tourists our spectacular country.
