Okay here is a new one....It appears now that if you have worked in Turkey, you can no longer apply for a job in China. This is because the Chınnese CAAC will not accept a No Accident/Incident letter from any Turkish carriers. So if you have any wish to go to China at any time in the future, you better not be working or thinking of working in Turkey. I wonder what the Turkish think of this......

I guess, even if you flew for Quantas, it wouldn't be accepted!
No accident/incident report has to be obtained from CAA :cool:

The problem is IF your LICENCE is issued by the turkish CAA, NOT if you flew for a turkish Airline.

The No Accident/Incident Letter from the CAA will not do. They want it from your current/past employers. İt appears now that other regions of China have no problem with Turkey. As usual its a mine field

In Brazil we also usually have the "no incident/acident" letter issued by the company when leaving.
Personally I have my doubts about this, as some incidents are by no means "caused" by crew, e.g. Birdstrike. Sometimes having passed through a situation can make you a pilot with a higher sense of awareness...
What should be questioned is resistance to CRM and other behavioural risks!
On the other hand you have a CAA who wasn´t able to detect the fraudulent license situation of its own pilots for many years...:ugh:

Since when a birdstrike becomes an incident on your licence?:eek::hmm:
