Hello,

Just to make clear what this is all about. All Turkish carriers split the pilots salaries up into two pieces. A basic salary which is the minimum salary by law. That is 250 Euro. The company pays taxes on your behalf on the basic salary. All the rest is flying remuneration which is not subject to tax. The article states that they also want to put tax on the remuneration part. In my opinion this will not directly affect the pilot salaries because taxes in Turkey are always paid by the employer. There is no such thing as a gross and net salary. The only thing that could happen is that they decrease the net salaries to compensate, but then who is going to fly all those airplanes?

Grtz
