The wide body THY Captain position is a commuting contract not an expatriate one. Housing and schooling are not provided ( I doubt if the facilities even exist), because HR expects you are travelling home to see your families in your own country.
Narrow body and Fist Officer contracts are extremely marginal and could perhaps be described as opportunistic by THY.
One golden rule of all foreign contracts not only pilots, is to avoid being paid in the local currency. The Turkish Lira is volatile ! But interest rates at 9.25% keep things fairly stable for the short term.
I am not throwing too many stones at the guys and girls employed by the gulf carriers because the way things are in this region currently, anything could happen and likely affect all of us.
