As a pilot flying for Turkish, I also recieve some VIP lists but it is just an info for the whole crew regarding who is on board. Do you need to do anything extra for VIP list ? NO ! It is just an info. So what is the point for your post ?

Some of you asked about FO selection in previous posts.

To be an FO you have to have a university degree and take the DLR(Deutches Centrum fuer Lutft- und RaumFahrt) test and Turkish HTA group test. When you pass both you are a candidate.

You have to have a TOEIC/TOEFL test score that is above limits.

Most of them take the type rating course in Airbus or CAE managed courses in EU.

To be honest there is place to go forward. Yes. But the company is on the move. A lot has changed since I joined the company.

It is not possible to change the direction of a big ship so quick.

The instructors receive training from Lufthansa Training (LFT) I think for the last 3-4 years. THY is paying for this process that an other eye is deciding regarding instructors. Also a lot of PIC training has been given by LFT.
