"Anyone can inform me,here if possible or via PM if preferred,about the lifestyle as B777 direct entry Captain?
Rosters,salary,commuting,or possible to keep family in Istanbul "
This is what I do not understand about you guys. Why would you make it good to keep your family in Istanbul if its a commuting contract ?
Fair enough plenty of summer visits but it seems to me just madness to bring a young school age family here!

Living in Istanbul with your family may prove much worse than living in Dubai especially if you have kids in school. Turkey is not ( yet) a multicultural country and Istanbul not as much as you would expect. As the swine says this is a good option if your are out of job , out of alternatives or at the end of your career. EASA license highly recommended.. its a matter of time.

The ground training itself doesnt take long. Up to 3 weeks.
But you gonna be waiting about 2 month for your apron card and validation of your licence.
Make sure you always try to push the guys in the office about your documents. Otherwise you might be ending up waiting a endless time.....

As per the latest,.. (Since 10 months or so)
Any flight related activity e.g. SIM or Flight will result in a full pay. This is called on your pay slip as Flight allowance (=tax free) this comprises roughly 50% + of the basic salary. Because things can take up to 3-4 months this was being 'taken care' of by a random observer SIM session for which you would not even have to attend, but just to check-inn and go back home in idle months. As Bus Driver Man was referring to. You could request such a SIM session at the end of idle months so you would end up with a full salary. However, since 10 months or so this has changed! During ground training and roughly 1 to 2 additional months, if unlucky you might end up with 3500$ or so. There will be no more such SIM's available for salary purposes. Hope this answers the question.

Pretty much true what is writtin here so far. But with some few exemptions.
They will not schedule you for a observer SIM anymore. So your first salary will only be the ground part of the total salary, which equals about 40%.
If you are some sort unlucky, and I know a lot of cases, you might be waiting a long time for the documents needed for flying to be issued. Again the same scenario: Only ground pay...
