Yabancipilot,
First of all, do not compare living costs in IST to Dubai. Housing is at least double in the Desert.
Dubai is a golden prison. Outside the city, there is NOTHING to do. 4 months a year, it isimpossible to be outside.
In Istanbul, you have nature, sea and a MUCH better climate.
TK offers unlimited ID90 in C and Y for flightcrew, just like other IATA carriers.
Somthe same as with EK
I know of several people happy with TK, including their training standards. And no, they are NOT rejects.
At least in Turkey, they have women's rights and are a secular country, not an Emirate buying their safety by sponsoring Al Quaida and IS.
