True.. timing is crucial if you want a summer contract. If you start now for example, you will be completed in September, October.
2 month for the TR, 2-3 month for 200h LT.

Thanks for your replies.
I am just wondering if there are any guys out there who have gone through this training with the 200 line hours, then come out and have found/not been able to find a job.
Thanks

Hey EpsilonVaz,
I finished in may (so just before the summer season) 2006 with 200 hrs. At that time, i had 3 concrete job offers (that means a start date):
One in Turkey, another one in Asia and one in Europe (temp contract). At the end I started neither of them due to other considerations.
It took our group at 4-5 months to complete 200 hrs due to lost contracts with tour operators. At least, thats what Pegasus told us.
Just make sure you have a plan B and realise it will be a harder to find something later in the year.

Latest update:
I now have finished training with PGS, and have a a summer contract with them. Ending in late october.
We started linetraining in istanbul, and then around 50 hours, we moved to Antalya. Wich means more and faster to get the hours. In 2 month i have gotten almost 200 hours. I am counting on around 500 hours in october. Then the world should be alittle bit more open.
Flying in Istanbul is exciting as well as Antalya. 2 different things. istanbul you also get small legs. (30-40 mins) x 4-5. Good experience in preparing an approach.
In Antalya 95% of all flying is 3 hours or more.
I really like the procedures and the SOP is working well. The basic of the SOP is actually from a BIG irish company. That used to own Pegasus in the begining as i understand it. Wich means it is some good procedures.

Assessment 7/13/08
Hi guys,
They called me for the assessment on 13th July, and the course starts on 14th...Any idea of why they give a so short-time advice? Probably if I'll be successful, I'll finith TR and 200Hrs in October/November and will be difficult to get a seasonal contract. Don't you think so? Any suggestion? Thank's guys, best luck!

In contrary to what I wrote above, it took our group 6 months to complete 200 hours (just checked my logbook). We started flying by the end of november / beginning december.
I hope things have improved by now. By reading daf's post, things look better in that respect these days, I wish I could have flown 200 hrs in 2 months.
Nevertheless check out guys who finished last year around october, how long it took them to make their hours. Like i wrote before, the time of year can make a whole lot of difference.

There is a lot of rumours, someone told me you are still able to do the program but you need a safety pilot during the hole line training up to 500 hrs. If it's true it will probably not stop the training, only raise the price.
Can you confirm 500hrs total time OR on type for employment?
