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 .
Replace the word Kurds with YPG. You are suggesting that Turkey is attacking a population group. You should know better. Any idea how many Kurdish people are working at THY?

Indeed, the salary in €,$,£ dropped unfortunately. Everybody is free to go somewhere else. Always go for a better carrier.
