Turk Experience

I made it but not joining them, as First Officer contract is unbelievably insane. I would rather stay home and take command.

My advice is... If you are a Capt and nothing else to lose(like seniority/Chk pilot/TRI/TRE posts) you can join and experience the country and airline. Like some one said, Turkey is still in the process of getting used to expats. English penetration is really low compared to other ME countries.

As FO, never join them, most likely no command, poor pay, hardly any leaves,pathetic staff travel and probably a not so friendly cockpit. You are just going to be warming the right seat for a while. And the stupid rule of 4 year college degree is a Joke! ( whereas many captains there are barely highschool pass outs. No offense but the rule is just funny)
