Hi guys,
Already a lot is said about this topic.
One straight fact I can tell is the following:
If you are an expat(wannabee) wanting to work in turkey,
you need a type rating with at least some experience on it.
Agencies generally ask for at least 500 hours on type.
But I know of one turkish company that invited a foreign pilot for interview with 150 hours on type.
Yes there is a shortage of pilots here but right now they need experienced expats.
What is said about websites is true, they are not reliable.
If you no someone inside you're one step ahead, if not:
give the company a call, call them back and then.....give them another call. (they're extremely bad at returning calls).;
Go knock on doors if you live around but dont come here on a one way trip with a bunch of cv's.
I cant comment on the chances for non rated turkish pilots but my bet is you have a better shot to get in than non rated expats.
Correct me if I'm wrong
Dangerous??? Not (yet) in my short experience.
Lots of room for improvement???? Absolutely.
Still, in the words of Sun737
to built hours to find a better job its a good deal
Anyway best of luck to you all looking for a job here.
