Topgun...original nickname
. From your posts I see you are looking for a fast upgrade. Well I'm not really in the position to give suggestion . My opinion is biased by my not so optimistic attitude. In fact after having been i played around on my perspectives and having consequently lost a good opportunity I kind of lost my trust and I came down to more a prosaic attitude...
What I can tell you is that you will most probably not be getting an upgrade and even less a fast one.
Yabanci is right, salary are down 30% due to TRY piloted devaluation. A mulled pay rise has yet to be seen. No housing will be provided if not for LH DEC. and you will be flying around 70 hours a month.
Let me just bring to your attention the following citation that could be appropriate :
