The number of resignations is unknown but I just know that every single yabanci pilot I meet is leaving. Even on LH fleets all seats. A sad place to work and live it as become indeed...not that it had ever been a really happy one...

Guys, if it is true that some yabanci pilots are leaving, some others are happy to stay.
Management can rely on them , and the airline is ready to come back to some positive results after having lived one of the worst first half year ever in turkish history.

Some flights frequencies will be decreased during the winter period in order to have a better rentability and increase again after april 2017.
All results are analysed and THY is waiting to be back in business...

Of course some yabanci pilots are leaving, but also locals, but that's normal. One goes another comes

I think the right decision to slow down.

You are funny. You should be replaced by pilots with positive energy and attitude. The same for the locals. This would be better for THY, crew and pax.

Just go to another airline. I think nobody forced you to work for THY. You were the one who chose for THY.

Or why did you take 737 typerating. If you had a320/a330/b777 you had better roster every month. Everyone knows that the 737 flights/destinations are a disaster. It won't change for the moment, maybe in the future they will share with the 320 fleet those destinations/flights

Psycho...you seem to know...but as usual you don't. Positive energy pilots ? I still have to see one.. I mostly see dead tired ones but some are just opportunistically pretending and you should hear them in their private conversation. At least I try to be mildly coherent and ethical..a word whose meaning in Turkey seems not to have been yet understood. Beside your 737 reference not being applicable.....I did not know in THY you can choose your type..����..since when?

So you see dead tired pilots like yourself, I guess? That's normal I think. The one who is complaining should go for another airline, simple.

Before applying, you should have a type other then the 737. Why didn't you have a type on the 320/330/777? You would be much happier.

Quite surprisingly for you I don't fly 737..but friends do..and they have no private life..and probably will have an overall shorter one.

If The Economist magazine is correct when it states


" The purge that Mr Erdogan has launched against the group and its sympathisers has swept up over 100,000 people. Last week 50,000 civil servants were dismissed by decree. Soldiers, journalists, academics, airline pilots and businessmen have all been targeted."


then I would guess Turkish Airlines inability to recruit foreigners may be about to get a whole lot more urgent. . . . . .

Well... you can always go to Slave Ship Airlines... Oops, I meant Emirates Airline for a job at 100 hours a month across 10 time zones at a time, not just Europe/Africa with 2 or 3 hour time zone changes. But at least you'll get a day and a half off to recoup after your 14 hour flight only to do a Chennai all night turn next.

I haven't heard/read anything official that THY is downsizing so the fact they're not taking NEW deliveries might not bode so badly for pilots.

Fact check

There are no longer MAA night TAs.

In addition all early am departures to BLR, COK, HYD, MLE, TRV are now layovers

All three DAC layovers.

Both NBO's layovers

SEZ layover length increased.

Not defending overall situ - but lets keep it objective.

Thanks Fliion...

I'm glad to hear this for you boys.... you certainly deserve the break!! But we can insert a few others in there...

Mumbai, Delhi, Karachi, Lahore.... to name a few. I'm sure you get my point!
Still mad rostering imo!

I'm really happy that some of the folks left THY, since I wouldn't like to be flown by kiddos who are only mature enough to discuss if Turkey is in Europe or not. Who cares? I know Turkey is a hard country to live and have an extremely diverse culture but guys; as long as we hold on to our paychecks we're all modern slaves. No matter who sugarcoats it but go to every forum in this site and everybody is complaining from their airline or region for various reasons. Because that's how it works; either go lead a revolution or found your own airline. I'm sorry, truth hurts.

I visited Turkey this year on a layover. Had a very good time. Was lucky in my timing. People were friendly, lots to see. Only annoyance for me were the shopkeepers in the bazaar("No for the fourth time and I am not your good friend"). Oh well, I really like to be left alone while others love to negotiate.

Can't comment on working conditions, but, there are definitely some European countries that have reputations for arrogance as well.
