1000 hrs on type, if you have a degree and EASA licence you could try Turkey as an FO if you are under 32 years old. The other chap with no hours would really be considered as "non-typed" as a rating without hours is not much use these days. At 34 the thread starter is too old for an FO position in Turkey ( exception ex Turkish Military ). All metro liner time is not regarded as suitable in many companies. Best bet I would have thought is apply as a non-rated to some companies in Europe and take a chance, NAS for instance..always looking for 737 FOs and also Ryanair , the rating is not completely wasted as you may be ahead of the learning curve, but in real terms they would consider you as non-typed and a bond or stump up of cash would be needed practically everywhere.
