Default Helo pilot shortage?

Just a curiosity question, but just heard a radio commercial
for some helicopter pilot school that will take you all the
way to your commercial license in 18 months, all costs defered
until graduation "because of the extreme shortage of helicopter
pilots."

No, I'm not considering the program.

So, is there a shortage?

Sounds like Silver State Helicopters and their aggressive sales
program. Overpriced and fraught with problems. As Jim said, a shortage
of qualified pilots. That doesn't mean low time pilots. But, that has
been and always will be the case in commercial aviation.
