When I used to live in Norway there was a demand for helicopter pilots. One of the biggest industries there is oil, which in Norway's case is all offshore. So they need helicopter pilots to fly personnel to and from the rigs. I imagine other areas with offshore oil (Scotland, Nigeria, Gulf of Mexico) would have similar needs as well. But, yeah, there's no way that could compete with the demand for commercial airline pilots.
