Sky Airlines of Turkey

What's it like to fly for this operation? Is it better than Pegasus or Sun Express? What about vs THY? Any idea on rosters or which planes are assigned to new pilots? Cheers mates!

If you really want to start flying for a Turkish company, you should not be too much bothered with details like the ones you ask for..

Hello Latetonite,

May I ask you what you mean by that?

Hitolo,

My conclusion comes from +20 years of contracting worldwide, including for a few outfits in Turkey. I cannot exclude you will find exquisite T& C`s in Turkey, but my experience is different. Kind of a last resort -thing, really.

stansdead, may I inquire about your background, as you are apparently able to judge people surprisingly swiftly?

Latetonite,

B757,A320,A330 and A340 is my background. What's yours?

I have never seen such a cretinously stupid reply as the one given to an honest question by the thread starter.

So, to summarise, it wasn't difficult to draw the conclusion that I came to.

Why didn't you give the reply first time round? Perhaps you prefer to keep information all to yourself.

Best T & Cs would be Turkish airlines. Best SOPs and training Sun Express. Pegasus is a close 3rd. Sky is the least organised and the one most likely to not pay you.

Sorry to buck the trend, but,

latetonite, you have my sympathies, some folk just don't like to hear it as it is.
