DGCA, DHMI and other governmental offices belonging to MoT, have implemented changes recently to the duty & flight time limitations, as well as the mandatory minimum rest periods for airlines under a TC reg in Turkey.
I.E.- 2+2+1+1+1 days off a month; 36hrs/week; 210hrs/mo Duty, etc makes it clear that this chaps are in deplorable working conditions, no time for lifestyle, friends or family. Perhaps the most frustrating issue is lack of freedom of expression, from journalists been jailed, to other ex-military members who participated on the Ergenekon issue being arrested. One thing remains clear, anyone willing to join a Turkish carrier as an airman is facing an infamous regime, and a proud society that to this day denies atrocities of the past.
