It seems very strange to think about leaving conditions before you apply with ANY job, and frankly If you are this unsettled or undecided I would advise you stay away, the Turkish culture may not be for you. Something going on? yes true, rapid expansion and preparation for EASA FTLs is making a headache for all. Yes some FOs in training have done hardly any hours since November time and had to put up with just being paid to sit around in the sun and drink beer. Still a general training capacity shortage, although the foreign pilot documentation is much simpler now. If staff leave according to the procedures there are no problems, this happens in any carrier. On the other hand if staff leave and try to book ID tickets outside of the period they are entitled to, then they are blocked, why? well simply because they are no longer entitled to "staff travel".. The system is automatic by ID number and its not personal, you leave, you loose the rights..that's it. If you resign with 60 days notice and leave after 1 day, expect the same, and dodgy medical reports don't count either..staff tickets validity period is only while employed.Many new guys on A330 fleet
