Hello,
Are you sure that Onur Air have Airbus 320, I think they have A300 and Boeing 737. I'm sorry to tell you that but Turkey is most a 737 country Inter, Pegase, Kthy, Turkish Airlines,Sky....But it's true there are all looking for Captain's and FO's for the summer season, because Turkey is the DESTINATION for this summer.
Sorry Panzer,
I just check the site and you are true
My advice is just to go there, and give your cv by your self. They certainly need you

I don't have any insight in Onur's safety culture (or lack thereof), but things are not looking good:

SCHIPHOL - An aircraft of Turkish airline Onur air, which is being closely looked at by the Dutch Aviation Authorities (IVW), had to return to Schiphol late Tuesday night with engine problems. This was revealed by the IVW on Wednesday.
The aircraft encountered a malfunction in one of the engines shortly after take-off. The pilot returned immediately to the airport. All the passengers were unharmed.
An IVW inspector has been in contact with the airline throughout the evening, en in the end decided that the aircraft should stay on the ground. The engine needs a thorough inspection. The aircraft will not be allowed to leave until the IVW is satisfied that it is safe to do so.
Onur Air has been under close supervision by the IVW for a considerable period. The situation was getting better until last week, when the situation with the Turkish airline headed downwards again. Because of this the IVW is keeping a close eye on Onur Air. The Turkish authorities have been informed about the incident, and have been reprimanded for it. According to the IVW the airlines in Turkey are not being supervised properly.
The IVW is seriously concerned about small foreign low cost carriers like Onur air, Fly-air and Phuket air. The aircraft show too many defects and because of this similar airlines are being watched closely.
Only last week the IVW revoked the landing rights of the Thai airline Phuket Air. Several unacceptable shortcomings were found during various checks. The IVW took the far-reaching decision after consulting with the Thai aviation authorities. Until the Thai authorities are satisfied with the safety level at Phuket air, and have satisfied the IVW on this point, there shall be no flights by Phuket air to the Netherlands.

There has been another Onur Air aborted take of in Alanya yesterday. (the one above was last week) The Dutch press is having a ball as they feel that this is something the public is interested in...
Martinair launched an advertising campaign called: "ask who you fly with" a few months ago to impress on people that they should ask travel agents who they fly with. Not a bad move as peoplee finally are getting the message, there are different quality operators out there.

About 2 or 3 hajs ago Onur air taxied into a light pole here in KSA.
The aircraft was a write off.
Also was around that they managed to touch down in Medinah with the gear up.
Remember walking through the hotel in Medina after it happened and a smart ass F/O with us told the Captain of Onur Air.
"Remember Captain Next Time Gear Down"
With all the Turkish crews listening this did not go over well.
Prior to this.
I spoke with one of their F/O asking could I get a jump seat with them to IST.
No English what so ever from him.
When I asked in my broken terrible Turkish he understood.
This thread does not suprise me.

Onur Air not too popular in the Netherlands just now, and a close watch on them from the IVW
Subchartered Tristars used (one on Sierra Leone register, so not welcome in UK) being frowned upon, Dutch have a downer on the Tristar anyhow following issues with Portuguese registered aircraft last summer...
Another problem with a Onur Air A300 at AYT last weekend further compounds the issue the Dutch have...
From what I can tell, lots of media noise in the Netherlands about Onur air, thus blowing the issue up even more.

'...The Turkish authorities have been informed about the incident, and have been reprimanded for it. According to the IVW the airlines in Turkey are not being supervised properly...'
...not being supervised? maybe it should say, 'NOT supervised at all!'
and btw. there's a price for everything!
