Military Status...there are a few FOs that are still to meet this obligation, they can wait until after their 3 year contract is up to do this, some plan to work abroad for a few years, some plan to pay and get a reduced military obligation of 6 weeks.
The last " bulk intake" was from Stella Flight Academy, but now there are some new Turkish FOs as well.
Failure/ rejection rates at interview and sim are still high.
Istanbul, Izmir and Antalya bases are not available now, even for DECs. There are about 2 FOs a month in the upgrade program and 8 are just about to finish Upgrades now at the SAW/ABD/AYT bases. Good start to a flying career for FOs if you can get in..
