Well mate that all depends on whether your great company will expect you to pay out the cost of you bond on the airvan or not. The 182 is also a pretty crazy aircraft. I dont know if 1200 hours is really enough to take command of one. But the kids these days seem to be doing ok. Make sure you get a good training captain on the 182 aswell. I know a few crusty old 182 checkies that love grilling you airvan fo's. They'll make your life hell for that circuit.
Goodluck.
