Technically speaking banned in the EU as of Jan 1st 2005, but with grandfather rights extending through Jan 1st 2007. I seriously doubt anyone will develop a Stage 4 hush-kit for what is a fairly small number of CF6-50 donks.
Might very well have a future in the 'usual places' where the old and noisy retire to.

Always go with the agencies! Don't believe a word their managers say and make sure you keep your back out of trouble.
Guess way their reliability is alway above 99.8%...
Stay away from Toshid!
This of course is only my opinion...if you go, have fun. Local pay is now 6k Euro plus overtime.
Cheers

Too bad it´s all in Turkish. It is basicly an association of all private airlines in Turkey. CEOs of all companies meet once in a while and talk about strategies, make gentleman agreements and work out similar airfares.
They also try and keep the level of flt.crew salaries to a standard and as my friend explained: Most of the GMs are pilots themselfs or mx guys who worked their way up to senior management.
There´s also an interesting list of all acft and you´ll be surprised to see how many A300s are still used.
Great airplane, loved every single hour on it but its days are certainly numbered.
