How many days off and, if the travel days are included, or are part of the operational days.
Do you know which hotel is planned for crew members when the move to the new airport occurs.
How long does the training take, and do they allow you to go home if there are gaps in training.
Some of the posters on the other Turkish thread suggest that there is hostility to foreigners - is that your experience.
It was mentioned that the CP had issued an email stating that pay would be made in a mix of currencies - has there been any development on that.
Two months ago, the monthly pay was equal to about 8500 euros, while today it is more like 7000. Several years ago it was better than that. In discussions with the company, where is your reasonable expectation of pay - 10000 euros per month, less or more.
The political situation is a variable, as is the currency, so I have read people's opinions on how those will affect any outcome on pay and job security.
Are you masochism and want to join a sinking ship?
