chieftain endorsement
chill,
Are you looking for your first job?
If so, don't waste your time or money on getting a 310 or chieftain endo. your chances of touching one in your first 2 or 3 years are very very slim.
time better spent getting time in 200 series which is what you will be flying for quite a while.
secondly, any organisation who requires you to have an endorsement on such a machine will pay for you to do it when they require you to fly it.
when people go out and pay for an endorsement, the operators think that they can get all other pilots to pay for it themselves. it just makes it more difficult for everybody coming after you.
if you are just looking for the next step up the ladder then have a look outside of sydney at somewhere like Macquarie air in port macquarie. they have both 310 and chieftain and would be able to help you out.
