Non rated B777
Non rated 777 CPT & FO are now asked to pay the type rating form their pockets 33000 Euro. What kind of candidate will they get if any? The best? More like the most desperate...

I can't believe it. The Best European Arline is now acting like some f***d up LOCO operator selling type ratings? This after having already pissed off hundreds if not thousands of pilots from all over the world. I never heard Air France, British Airways, or Lufthansa or any major really European carrier doing anything like that. Its evidently getting some bad counseling . THY like Ryanair...go figure who the counselors might be

Why not share interview and assessment experience? Those who have already attended 5day screening in IST. Please share their experience and results....
Also if anyone has an updated info. On salaries and benefits offered for both FO and CAPT. , please post here.

I think we are both from the same country...
So it is really good to hear that you are invited to IST.... How did they invite you to IST? By phone? Or by email? And did u have the ability to change the dates according your own plans?
And about your family, Istanbul is really a nice place to go..to live, to have fun, to work... A bit crowded but still better that here, u know.. I really recommend you to take your family, or your wife at least to Istanbul during your 5 day interview ..so she can have an experience about Istanbul and the way the life goes on there... You can also check out different regions to for your future housing.
About the questions and interview, i have really no idea, I have not gone for interview , but some guys here have...so just check out previous posts and find out more..
Also to help others, please post your interview experience and results and any good info. After you come back from IST. Please.
Goooodd luck

I see Turkish Airlines has finally resorted to recruit culturally compatible pilots.
For those coming from fully civilized countries , if in anyway possible, stay away from that abusive, xenophobic outfit.

What do you mean by culturally compatible?Iran is largely Scite while Turkey is largely Sunni. I doubt you would find an Iranian pilot in the Gulf but I stand to be corrected. This is more and more a sociopolitical exercise ( or a seat filing one? ) but are we the guinea pig? Well at least it will be a good topic for the thesis of my sociology degree..

For Porkflyier
Dear Porkflyer,
I am afraid you had an hard bite of THY and I am deeply sorry for you.
My personal experience by now is just the opposite.
It is since 2010 I joined this fast growing airline and dare to say I felt treated as a friend by any crew and as a pro by the management.
As in any other company there are thinghs that might be improved. Thinghs that should be re thought. I don't quite believe YOUR national airline or companies are perfect either.
It was all brand new for the locals to accept foreigners in the very beginning but I never felt misunderstood or mistreated because of that.
Turkey is still trying to find its own way between East and West and I believe it is not easy at all. Its people, as a matter of fact, are gentle and friendly.
It is a proof of arrogance thinking than any culture should be tailored to our needs or habits.
All the best for you and for those who are joining soon...
