Their responsee is even slower than mine has been.
They interviewed shedloads of guys back in Spring.
Most were very very experienced on type.
Interview was a very relaxed affair, just a chat really, and sim check a walk in the park, even if you weren't current. No mention whatsoever of salary etc.

End result thus far, more than 6mths later, I heard a rumour a couple of guys had tentative offers, but STILL no details of T's & C's.
The rest of us heard nothing whatsoever, and I am talking a lot of applicants.
I know of nobody who was offered employment.

I have the distinct impression that candidates are being used as pawns in a political game between the airline, the unions, and possibly the government, whom you must count one member of as a friend if you are to "normally" enter Turkish Airlines, as a Turkish citizen.
Very nespotic, I am informed.
By all means apply, spend a night or two expenses paid in IST, but don't hold your breath for the phone to ring.
From what I have seen, I don't know why they bothered with an ad in Flight International, strange coves indeed.
