Bad news for line trainees in Turkey
According to the latest law by Turkish DGCA, no foreign pilot (under 500 hours of flying experience) flying/training with a Turkish company (as a student involved in line training, or FO) will be allowed to fly to major busy airports such as London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt etc. Apparently this decision was made inorder to discourage the Turkish airline companies from hiring/training new foreign pilots and give priority to their own.
Something to think about for people wanting to do line training in this country.
