chrislikesblue i think i know what our fellow friends is talking about.
What onehotflyer means is that there is no problem with the rosters.
However upgrading time and seniority list following is slightly different. You may never become a captain unless THY needs captains so badly.
The general treating first officers is like crap, even the turkish citizens. You are just a number as some other carriers in the ME. However things change when you become a captain.
The salary is a relative thing so i am avoiding to comment on that, however currency of turkish liras is fluctuating like crazy lately(TL has lost about %30 in the last 6 months against USD).
So there has been a migration from THY to ME majors.
As far as i know 150 first officers(all foreign) and 60 captains(also all foreign) resigned from THY, but it might not be all about the salary...
