...yeh, in that case it's easier (and safer) then, to go outback and get your time "cutting your teeth", gaining abit of character. You can't afford to be too prescious in this game. Relax and enjoy what those places have to offer while you're there and you'll look back on it fondly... something many cadets miss...
You won't be out there too long as the industry is moving quickly.
Happy Landings
