Input ?

I am flying on Saturday to IST and will look into THY and some of the Lad´s there. Are there any serious questions required to ask? Somehow I am temptet to join.

The day´s off is not as good as I have presently but the overall feedback is more positive then where I am at the moment. It is closer to home and some of the destinations are the same I fly presently, no exciting news then except to Africa again.

I prefer the Hotel instead of the own appartment there as it is less hassle for me to keep up with all the other stuff you hang onto when you have a appartment. Bills, cleaning, washing clothes and making breakfast, all done in the Hotel for me. I am used to it and it workes for me the last 15 Years.

Contract duriation is not that clear between the offer and the reality, 3 years versus 1 year. Lookes like a extended probation period. Some of my former Colleagues who are there over 3 years now on a wet lease have not too much to complaint about. Everybody keep´s a little secret about the total day´s off got at home in excess to the 7 days for Europeans and the average pay per month as it fluctuates due to extra pay for Sunday/Holiday and +70 hrs.

I appreciate any input and suggestion what I can expect and how it is applied.

Fly safe and land happy
