Just to clarify on this issue:
In THY you are respected as Yabanci as much as Turkish colleagues. Even Greek pilots (former nation rivals) are treated as any other and receive upgrades. All goes well if you can accept that you are a guest of their country everything is fine (this goes for most expat places), it is just your mindset. If your ego likes to tell people that you have come to show them how it is done you will run into problems, like any other company. Politeness is very important in the Turkish culture, this feels comfortable if you understand politeness.
The offer that they make consists of a possibility to live in a European country close to home, if you prefer the real middle east for more finances, it is your personal choice. Nobody is forcing you. Many Yanbanci's have worked there long term, I have not noticed any sort of (systematic) discrimination. Of Course you might run into locals that are easier going than others, as goes for other expats as well. The companies main goal is to improve the safety record for their growing World brand, CRM and basic skills are monitored very closely. The background check is extremely thorough, avoiding pilots with bad records, or that try to make shortcuts on experience. It requires patience sometimes; however, if you are legit it should not be a problem.
The place feels pleasant like an Italian city, although slightly different. Of course you have to find out about the nice places. Trust me plenty, the place is rich of culture and history. In short, you can have a good time here. No you will not become financially independent within a few years. Pay is very good and certainly a lot better because of taxes in comparison to Europe.
