Hello all...
I worked for them 6 months, and you can believe me: it's not a life.
You receive your roster week by week. They alterns night flights with day flights, you stay in "Ibis like" hotel for the best, turkish 3 stars style for the worse. It's not rare they make you flying 110 hours per month, and even more... Some (old) captains doesn't know how to fly a VOR approach... Be prepare to "sleep" on a chair for loooong nights in Istanbul, Helsinki or somewhere else, waiting for a delayed aircraft, technicians and so... Before making a 4 hours flight time trip... Speaking about that: the flights are mainly Medium haul flights. For example you can do AMS-AYT-TLV-AYT-AMS... You will remember you these flights, I can assure you...
So, very tiring job, even dangerous, and indeed badly paid for newbees...
But, for your first 500 hours experience, why not?
