Helicopter in my future? Please help

Hy guys,


I tried helipilots thread but i need some more specific.


at present my situation is:

35 years old, 1800 TT fixed wing 1500 airline jet IFR.

Thinking of switch in helicopter, I though FAA add -on with IR and twin transition in order to save money and then try getting a job in CHC, Bristow or Era, possibly in Europe.

1) My fixed wing experience is recognised by them or is useless?
2) Do they employ FAA licensed pilot or it is better a JAA one
3) Do they have maximum age for recruitment?

Do you think could be a possible "dream" come true or my plan is completely irrealistic?

thanks to all, any further sujjestion is very welcome and appreciated.
