If you compare the package of other ME operator THY does not really seems to be in anyway attractive.
Gulf Airline X VS Turkish Airlines
Salary 8000 USD VS 6000 USD
Benefits Housing, Education End of service VS NIL
Leave 42 VS 20
Upgrade Seniority from day 1 VS playing games
Commute business VS no commute economy
block days off
Rostering acceptable to good VS disaster on NB getting such on WB
I think the point is THY is not a an Airline for expatriate. The "ideology" behind make it just a short time stepping stone to somewhere else. On the other end they send email asking pilot to tell their friends to join. I really don't think so.
Dear Bob777,
My priority now is to find a job the closest as possible from my home. So I even didnt try to attempt the gulf sisters. Moreover the upgrade time is hazardous as far as I heard. Nobody has the same answer at this question.
Remaining the companies in Europe. At the moment only the lowcost are a good deal if I consider the compromise between europe location and upgrade time. I am at the stage that I dont card the salary anymore. The quality of life is much more important.
And finally, I didnt say that I couldn't find anything. I am indeed in the pool for 2 companies.
so wait and see. If it doesnt work I will stay in THY.
