On the FO side things are starting to get better every day apart from the Lira situation (salary is still quite good for an FO). Lots of guys are getting upgraded to the wide body fleets (no, they don't have to pay anything those rumours are NOT true) and for the guys with the uni degree they don't have to go to Ankara to get it translated etc etc...
The roster is really more stable than a year ago and most of the guys are flying 70-80 hours maximum.

Lots of new and young captains are joining the narrow body fleet with a good attitude, english level and CRM and the really old horrible ones are being phased out slowly and there are really not that many left.

Things are getting better step by step, day by day.
Life is far from being perfect here but most guys are quite happy, there is still much to do but rome wasn't built on one day

In general most guys that I speak to are happy, however home is where the heart is so off course people would take the chance to go home to Europe (Turkey is definitely not EUROPE, whatever they say ).
