Not as familiar with Turkey from a job perspective, but how is it that THY cannot source "suitable" pilots from other Turkish operators like Pegasus, Sun Express, Atlas and Sky Airways? Vast majority of those pilots are Turkish and they all fly advanced equipment like 737NG and Airbus. So, if THY is so great, why do many of these other airline pilots not flock to it if they meet minimum qualifications? Is it simply that THY growing so fast that it now needs more non-Turkish pilots? Or are pilots from other Turkish carriers deciding to pass on opportunities with THY? Why wouldn't a qualified 737NG pilot from Pegasus want to move on to THY?
I am a big fan of the country - I have just heard mixed views about working there...
Cheers
