You have zero actual instrument time, and you want to fly for an IFR HAA program, but you have no intention of flying IFR? 

There's a formula for failure. Would you want one of your family members to be in a helicopter being flown by that kind of pilot? 

1. Company finds out you can't pass an instrument check, and asks you to leave.

2. You get into IIMC and kill yourself and possibly two or three others.

3. You're the guy who turns down flights that could be done IFR. Other pilots at the company have to carry your load. You do not want to be that guy. 

You need to get actual IFR experience if you want to fly for an IFR HAA program. You simply will not get enough experience on the job in HAA to build that time.

Doesn't PHI still have dual pilot IFR operations in the gulf? You might try that.
