Danishpilot80 & Jack-the-Skipper
Good luck in your careers chaps; now that THY offers permanent contracts, you will retire as a F/O's with as you will enter a foreign seniority list, and never progress into Command. After all it is a job and pay is always on time; One great benefit for F/O's in this country is that in Turkey they call you "Kaptain", except if you are the third wheel for which there is a box on the flight plan called "First Officer", after "Captain" and "Commander". Some of the former foreigner and local F/O's went for looking for jobs elsewhere with "Kaptain" credentials, and were offered direct entry Captain position.
A local university graduate is picked by THY to join as First Officer after they pay his training for two years to make him a pilot with total time of 240hrs. They call this blokes "Captain" this and that, and sometimes addressed by cleaners and technicians as "Hojam", meaning "master", so feel free to ask any questions on your interview, and make no mistake, you will be "Kaptains" from day one!
