Life expectancy at THY/B737 fleet.
Just had a chat with a former colleague presently in the process of living THY.
His September rosters reads 107 hours with 7 days off and 220 hours of duty 16 days out of base and multiple consecutive back to back night duties. .He is very worried about his health. Hopefully his last month.
In the last month there have been three fatalities among B737 crew of which one expat and two locals all of them heart attacks while on duty or during layovers. Also rumors about a stroke to a A330 expat FO. Think twice..or three time before even applying. The situation is apparently getting worse.. Many expat THY B737 skippers are screening with my present employer "the" EU low cost operator . By large a professional and lifestyle paradise in comparison. THY "best European Airlines" proving more and more a greedy unfair and irresponsible exploiter.
