@ tonyflaire

As A330 Capt the main good point is you have 21 days of work then 7 days in a row, with a confirmed free return ticket home, upgradable to C class if avail. Very good if your kids are studying in your country. Worldwide network, and Istanbul is a nice base...

Thank you very much

EASA?

Just read a post by CessnaT50 that he got an EASA license along with his 777 "upgrade", all courtesy of THY.

Can someone verify that Turkey is issuing EASA licenses? I was under the impression that it is not part of EASA. They tried and succeeded their inclusion into JARs but not EASA.

In any case, does THY really have openings for NTR 777 DECs?

Many thanks!

They are not Issuing EASA licences. Your impression is correct they are not part of EASA, so not possible to issue licences.

I assume a misunderstanding that the said pilot got a "Turkish" validation, or perhaps he did all the exams and got a Turkish Licence which was paid for by THY (Not recognised outside Turkey as EASA)!?

The only link with EASA to my knowledge, is that the Irish Authority will accept a Turkish TRE signing the Licence renewal in the Sim (the sims are EASA approved on 777, can't say about the others but I also think they are too).

Thought so, thanks!

His whole post was probably a misunderstanding anyway…..

Maybe Turkey is issuing EASA "looking" license like they do with their car license plates featuring the EU blue side band and something like the star circle….
Do they?

The Licence here does have the same look and layout as the EASA.

Just like a fan of a Sports team wearing the Jersey colours.... It don't make him a sports star!

THY lets you do the type rating in Berlin or Rome, only the Turks do it in Istanbul.

So THY did a Sim and gave you an EASA Licence? Had you done the required 14 exams (European exams not Turkish)? If so, then it is indeed possible.

If not, them I'm afraid you do not have an EASA Licence. You cannot believe THY has the authority to bypass the requirements and exams.

Someone going back to the US showing off his "European" license……

One that cannot differentiate between EASA and Turkish license….. sorry, licenseS (many )

One that tries very hard to persuade everyone that "he has been there", namedropping and describing the banks, the hotel and the view from the training center….

The same that claims he has been "upgraded" to 777 skipper, NTR, with only narrow body experience and THY paid everything for him and begged him to join…..

And he is proud to have…… "new tickets" to IST (!!????!!) Wow, tickets, I got tickets…… wtf?

I wonder what you post on you FB page pal.….. would be interesting to check it out. Maybe give us a clue. We will enjoy as you suggested.

Already laughing…..

"you is you, and that is that" ….. and you even post your scores…...

Obviously you don't even know what we are talking about. You certainly did some exams but not the EASA exams.

You keep referring everyone to your FB page. Are we supposed to know you, are you famous? My apologies for not knowing you.
If you really are in Turkey, I am sure we will soon hear more about you.

If the guy is really a THY pilot it shows there is a need to do something to improve the psychological screening...

Anyone with half a brain will realise that CessnaT50Driver is a sandwich short of a picnic. Best is to just ignore his posts as he's offering no guidance or help.
