Aussie helo industry to double in 6 years

G'day,

I saw on the news a few weeks ago that the heli industry in Oz was supposed to double in size over the next 6 years. Given that most jobs i see advertised these days seem to require pilots with quite large numbers of captain and total hours, where do you see this injection of experience coming from? If these hours requirements are being set due to insurance companies and their policies, can they still be lowered in order to meet an increased demand for pilots?
