The expected pay for a B777 captain just dropped significantly, in in real world terms.

The Turkish lira dropped over 30% to the GBP in the last week alone.

Was £1 = 4.3 THY
Now £1 = 5.6 THY

Do the Math.

My guess there will be a run on the Turkish currency , and 7 or 8 to the pound may not be unexpected, especially if the government continue with the military assult on the Kurds.

Interestingly, I just received a bunch of emails for THY Captains. Now let me sleep on that one .
