On the other hand, what the hell can a P2 on a Van actually do? What on earth is the point???
I suggest you'll be ready to shoot yourself with boredom and frustration within a month.
Turbine time, as you said, will come. Well, then let it! But do something useful in the meantime. I can't see what 1,000 hrs as P2 on a Van is worth to a future employer, less than 100 as P1 on a 206 IMHO.
