Quite easy take-off and ILS Raw data without autopilot to IST. You are supposed to fly conventional departure based on 2 VORs. Then take-off engine out and ILS to IST with autopilot. Rejected takeoff. It was quite easy.
3) Technical assessment
HR questions and technical interview. Some memory items, more OPS questions, some procedure from FCOM like CWO or Intercepting GS from above etc.
4) Turkish DGAA Medical
Same like in Europe but better treatment. I was supposed to come with eating the breakfast. After blood tests they sent me to hospital restaurant to eat breakfast. During all tests I was with translator who took me to every doctor. It was very quick like 3 hours.

I do not know what to think about lira stability. It looks like it is stable for some time to salary should be around 18k euro plus every 3 month double basic salary.
Think logically—if a captain on a wide-body aircraft in a flag carrier like THY earns $18K, how is it possible that a captain flying a narrow-body aircraft in its low-cost subsidiary earns the same or even more?
A significant portion of the information being shared is inaccurate and unrealistic.
As a foreign pilot, you will likely have a salary of around $13K. The scheduling department will assign you rosters with domestic flights and extensive duty hours, while long flights are reserved for local pilots. The $18K figure applies to instructors and assumes the maximum number of legally allowed monthly flight hours.
This $18K also includes one-third of a quarterly bonus equivalent to one base salary (not two), as well as a fuel allowance for commuting to the airport. The company covers taxes and health insurance but does not provide accommodation.
Regarding home visits and crew scheduling—rostering will make sure your last duty before going home is a late-night flight, and your first duty upon return is an early morning departure.
As for everything else-finding an apartment, registering a mobile number, or commuting to work—best of luck!
