Just to revisit this, as they are recruiting again, can anyone who went there last time around confirm,do they really only give the 7 days off a month promised ?
They also say the days off are split 2/2/1/1/1 so no chance at all to go home (if home isn't Istanbul) for 1 year either, as no Leave during 1st year.
Any better news than this, did anyone manage to get (say) a 50% / 66% contract for less money, any news of other bases coming up ?
This sounds only doable if you are willing to move everything, & everyone in your life, to Istanbul, or become a hermit for 1 year.
