What do airlines think of helicopter hours?
Good/bad/indifferent? If you've got 200 hours just like everyone else - would a thousand hours helicopter time help you stand out? Or would it be considered irrelevant or even detrimental? I know you can count 750 towards ATPL and possibly unfreeze after year 1, but would it count towards getting a command?

It's not going to do your chances any harm, <1500 is still low houred so it will give you something else to talk about at an interview.
Regards to command relevance, the current factorisation in my airline is:
Multi-crew Rotary/Multi-crew turbo prop = 0.75
Single Crew Rotary/Single crew Aircraft < 5700kg = 0.4
Hope that helps
