It really depends on how much the airlines need pilots! At Virgin, we have a number of ex-rotary people. Most of them were recruited between 1997-2000 when the airline industry couldn't get enough experienced pilots. Even then, some airlines looked askance at rotary experience.

At the moment, airlines can pretty much get all the experienced pilots they need - but the plot is moving in your favour. Right now, you will probably find they tell you to go get more fixed wing experience. In 6 months to a year? Who knows?!

The main thing is to get your CV in to your potential employers and let them tell you what their current policy is.
