Heard a rumour that the 7 days off in a month could now be taken in one block instead of 2/2/1/1/1.
Just a rumour, and of course they have to stick to it, but if they manage that it will surely widen the appeal to include those who don't want to move families to Istanbul.
Like Turkish Airlines , who offer the same non-commuting roster on the 737, they would have more interest if they actually managed to arrange for peeps to go home. 20 days work is more than enough to do 100hr block time, why not give 10 days free and at least you could have 8 days home.
Not everyone wants to move their families that far SE in "Europe"
