I spoke with recruiters for Turkish... THE ONLY reason I will never go there is that they expect me to pay for my own type rating. If that isn't bad enough, they do not guarantee that you will be placed into the type of aircraft you hired on for... so someone who buys their own 737 type for Turkish could then be put into a320 school and be required to buy that type too.
I have 4,000 of turbine time, and an airline wants me to pay for my own type rating? They tried recruiting ME, not the other way around, and this is their offer? Laughable.
