What's the deal? Are Turkish pilots so terrible that they can't transition to the 777 fleet from the 737-800 or Airbus fleets? Really? Are there no 777 training slots available and they need typed pilots right now? If I were a Turkish 737-800 Captain I would be offended that those 777 PIC slots were being outsourced and not available to me...
Good for those non-Turkish pilots who get the jobs. I just think it would be a slap to the face of existing Turkish pilots who could make the transition to the 777...
