APU INOP, your info are absolutely correct.
The new contract offers 31000 tl for captains. the Turkish Lira Tl is now at 4.5.
When an expat get the job he is paid in TURKISH LIRA AND CAN ONLY convert it in to euro at a higher rate, let s say 4.6 to 4.7 tl for 1 euro.
let s say 5tl for one 1 euro at the end of the year when you analyse the curves of the turkish currency compared to the euro.
it means 6050 euro brut for a captain.
the deduction on salary is around 6-7 % , it means a captain in TL earns 5700 euros per month.
after enquiry a long haul captain will be around 6700 EUROS NET to fly a B777.
What do you guys think about this offer?
are they going to recruit only pre-retired captains who already got their pensions and are ready to get some supplement pocket money?
