flyflye, you may do better to stay on type and look at Borajet. The fleet is expanding and it would give you an opportunity to experience " living in Turkey" before jumping to THY. There is no restriction to go from Borajet to THY, unlike SXS and SXD. Pay would not be so great but the overall package may work out the same as they provide accommodation. Ok, its mainly domestic routes from SAW and ESB bases but you can find your feet more easily. On the other hand, if you fancy THY then homework is required due to the vastly differing " opinions and facts" posted here
