Been there and .... oeps .......still AM there .... and even on the Fokker so couldnt stop myself to respond on some points from mikey26
1. As a matter of fact you DO have a base; either Antalya or Istanbul in the summer and yes in the winter period the planes go on wetlease jobs all around the world. Nothing strange about that and no secret. Actually like fekix I enjoyed Myanmar and will probably enjoy whatever comes up next.
2. Salary never has been a problem. Per diems were sometimes late but eventually always got paid.
3. This is stated in the contract that you get before starting to work so nothing secret about that.
4. This was a problem that I briefly encountered myself but it was corrected. Usually wintertime is quiet (like now) and then going home or taking off is no problem and will not be cut on pay.
5. True....and???
6. Standby is no longer than 12 hours and then normal minimum rest. In the summer period it is true that leisure time is limited but that is due to the nature of the charter business. Its a charter operation, no all in vacation resort. In turkey summertime is high season. After october lots of time available for family and leisure
Feel free to inform with the EU jet guys who unfortunately are leaving due to jobs at Ryan-air.... Im very confident that they will be glad to tell you about Inter... we will miss those guys and I know they will miss Inter too....
Hope your flying by now fekix....come and visit again some time... and mikey, good luck in your new carreer
