The conditions in SunExpress has improved considerably from the start of this year.

Full salary from day 1 of type rating. Hotel and transportation is arranged by the company during training.
Basic salary has increased compared to the numbers in pilotjobsnetwork - Paid annual leave has almost doubled.
The roster has improved considerably as well - during summer months everyone is guaranteed 4 consecutive days off, and in the winter months 5 consecutive days off. There is a request system, so you can request which days you´ll prefer off the next month.

The type rating is "self-sponsored". You don´t pay anything up front, but they will deduct your salary each month for a 3 year period. BUT after 3 years - if you stay in the company - they will pay the full type rating cost back in installments for the next 3 or 4 years. I´m not 100% sure how the payback will be and over how long a period as this is still very new.

SunExpress has a pretty good deal with MyId travel for you, your partner, kids, parents and siblings.

Upgrades for command after 3 years.

All in all a pretty good company! Salaries are net, so all the numbers are take home pay. Considering the living expenses in Turkey you can have a really good life here!

Thanks lhc7664 for the details ! Big improvements indeed.

Is this for new joiners only ?
Do you have any idea when the next round of type ratings will be ?

Cheers

Anyone had recent assessments here and how did they go, thanks!

Just received an email from Sunexpress HR stating that they dont need any more pilots.

How far are you in the process?

Nowhere, i just applied on their website 2 months ago. I updated my profile again yesterday and received a message today saying that i have the requirements but they don't need more people for now.

Ah ok, that's true. They froze the recruitment process. In my case, I passed the simm assessment and was waiting for an interview date.. But now I (and a few more) have to wait untill the MAX will fly again.

hi guys,

Im in the same situation as r0zvram . Passed the sim and now waiting for the MAX to be approved so that they can conduct the interviews (hopefully). Can anyone share their interview experience in detail? I'd highly appreciate the help. Thanks.
