State of the helicopter Industry

Hello. First post. So now we're half way into 2012, from where I sit, things look quite bright in the offshore sector globally. New aircraft coming online with the various companies, more training for new types, more contracts and more work, what about the onshore and VIP industry? Does it look like there may be good news on the horizon for these guys too?
Unfortunately for some us, we're probably going to be stuck on one particular type soon to be replaced by the new Class1 performance types. ie 139, 92, 189 etc.
I'm wondering if the new guys into the industry will take the new slots as those of us with a couple of years in already may just be left by the wayside due to type rating costs.

The helicopter industry certainly is a roller coaster.
