How much does it cost for a C208 or Navajo endo
Depends on whether you want the old three circuit quickie endorsement in the old PA-31.
I have been quizzed about an endo where the pilot's sins were good enough to see their license reviewed. No problems from my end, but all I can say is document everything.
No room in this industry for that s
it (quickies).

Vortex/Tasfast at Moorabbin do an PA31 endo for about $5K with 3 hours Dual and 10 hours ICUS over Bass Strait. OR, the quick version for $2750 with 3 hours. It think they have about 5 Chiefs.

Vincent - you'll find a job.
Have you guys heard of Murphys Law? Why do you assume that you need a PA31 or C208 Endo @ a cost of 5K+? Unless you already have a job lined up and it is a prerequisite for employment, what are you going to do when someone turns around and offers you a job on a 402 or a PAC750? Woops spent the wrong 5K? Why not just go out and pay 10K and get a meat tray endo? Or how about spending 30K and getting a 737 or 320 rating? Where do you stop

At an employer I used to work for, it went against you if you were endorsed.
They wanted you to be endorsed and trained the right way (according to them) from the start, by their own guy.
That way there was none of the old " at xxx we did it like this" type talk creeping in.
In this climate, as long as you are prepared to move and chase the work it will happen for you.

C208 $5500 for basic endo
If it is a "Bic Biro" quickie endorsement, don't waste your money.

GG what's wrong with using student loan to cover the training? For my training I paid 70% with student loan because I was not getting money fast enough to fly. Working all week just to fly a couple of hours on the weekend.
He wouldn't be the first (or last) kiwi using student loan money to pay his way into Australia.
Having said that the best policy is the get any endorsement done with/through your employer. Any employer who values their machinery isn't going to let someone with a bare type endorsement loose in their pride and joy without a thorough checkout, might as well be giving them an endorsement and be done with it.

GG may be referring to kiwis getting student loans, leaving their country and never paying the loan back. Arriving in Australia without a huge loan over their heads as opposed to their Australian counterparts, flying for free here cos they haven't got that huge loan over their heads therefore being much easier to support themselves.
Thing is the kiwi government is starting to call in these loans whether their citizens return home or not
