I'm sure that rotorwing rating and experience are looked at much more than just fixed wing. I have heard that they now train you in up to five airframes. I don't know that for sure though. Nowadays, it probably depends on what they have at your station.
Yes, once you work for them all additional ratings and types are paid for.
