Indeed.. it's called "character building". No tears, no glory.
I've spent my entire working life around aviation across Australia and the secret I've discovered is that "relationship" and "trust" are key pretty-much everywhere you go - and even more so in Darwin and the outback - whether that's a ground job or in the pilot's seat. There is simply too much at stake for it to be otherwise. Get to know people who know people and, if your attitude is right, your dream will come true eventually.
