According to the "Rumours", which are usually correct! about 48 new FOs will start over the next few months, mostly from Stella NL. About 35 FOs will transfer from AYT base to SAW, mostly Dutch guys, some will wait until after the upgrade to come. Contracts are " one year" but the crew will not be able to go to THY mainline after the contract, and given fleet expansion, the contracts will almost certainly be extended ( according to performance etc etc). There is a debate about licence issues at the moment, one school favours Turkish DGCA the other EASA retention.. as with THY mainline the big feet are kicking towards DGCA licence. Possibly after the type rating is endorsed they may request conversion to lower on-going training and checking costs. In the end, it really comes down to getting hours, getting paid and then looking at 3/4 years ahead. Even in CX you fly on HK CAD ticket not JAR/EASA, the old system under JAR allowing more than one " State of issue" is now gone, but the option to opt back to your " mother state" is always there if the carrier changes.
