For a decent place( in western terms) in a decent neighborhood plan not less that 4500 TL if you need more than two bedroom make it... 5000.
International schools... range is 12000/15000 euro per kid per year and that is elementary. I ruled out the option..

Focusing in actual working condition - see other thread !!
Hi guys,
I wanted to find replies on actual working conditions (Spring 2015) and opened a new thread: Turkish Airlines THY working conditions - worse than announced?
This thread here is initially more concerned regarding interview etc, therefore actual pilots would better find that new therad ....
Cheereoooo

joined THY years ago , was very optimistic.
Instead, bad bad bad.
On 320 no way to commute, if you bring family to Istanbul is even worse : city very difficult, if you live in center you need hrs to go to airport if you live close to airport gonna to divorce and no international school nearbye ( kids hours to go and hrs to come back in traffic to reach it).
Rent very expensive if you want something decent.
schedule stable but bad ( never ever been so tired), basically work , sleep , work again.
salary deduction in case of sick leave.
planning deaf to requests, don't even answer to it ( unless you find other ways).
with current exanchage rate and expenses its virtually and pratically impossible to save money.
on other fleet probably better, but difficult to get there due to very erratic seniority list.
NO SALARY INCREASE as they post to attract new pilots and NO COMMUTING ROSTER .

Hello Guys, I went to the assessment in the beginning of May.
Some important point that I have seen there.
1- True, thats alot of traffic. It tooks 1:30h from Hotel to Turkish Training Center everyday.
2- They dont pay for your shuttle. Its $20 Lyra to go and $20 more to come back to the hotel. If you go until the last day, I will spend $200 Lyra only with transportation.
3- Have to pay for your "feeding"
4- Hope you stay at Ibis Hotel, because Akgun Hotel it's far from be 2 stars (but it says its 5 stars).
5- Inside Turkish facility building ,any building, there was no signs in english only in their language.
6- They dont give upgrade on their flights for candidates.
Ok, lets go for this assessment.
First Day:
Around 9am we had the English exam, pretty simple. Dont need to be worried. You have to speak with a computer, no big deal.
Around 12pm, was group assessment. Just be relax, be yourself. Dont talk to much and dont be too quiet.
Seconde Day:
Documentation day, seems easy, but many fellas failed on this day.
Turkish people want translated documents (from your language to english), they love stamp in everything.
Those who did not had "Recomendation letter" or did not had Translated Documents has failed too, just because of that.
in the afternoon, around 5pm local time, you will receive an email if you passed on the process or if you failed.
Third Day:
Simulator. No big deal.
Visual Pattern, A/THR off, Bird ON.
Engine Failure after V1, ECAM actions completed, request vectors for ILS , Go Around Single Engine, New Vectors, full landing.
They want to see CRM, Manual Flight, Decision Making... and be stabilized by 1000 ft AGL.
Fourth Day:
Interview..... but for me was a Problem day !
Now there was only 10, on the first day we were 30.
Everybody waiting in the room, Captain Boris was nice to everyone.
Each one is called for the interview with Capt. Boris and came back smiling.
When they called me, they took me to a different room and Capt Boris was not there, only two HR attendants.
Asked how was my simulator, said it was good.
After that one said to me:
"Ok, we have to stop your process because you have failed on the group assessment day and was not supposed to be here."
WTF ???
I asked "What? Its impossible, Received email every day with 'sucess news' and to return on the other day. Spent money and time to be here to hear that from you?"
She said that was a mistake, said sorry and that I was out of process and there was nothing to do.
Happened to more 3 people !!! DAMN !
Its so amateur to treat people like this.
A friend went to the assessment one week after me, and happened the same with him and his Capt.
Can not understand why Turkish Airlines treat candidates this way, ridiculous.
If you are looking for carreer,from First Officer.. forget. Take the job, and look for a better one. They say they upgrade to wide and left seat, but no expat have been promoted on the last 4 years.
Well, good lucky everyone.

777 commutable, forget about an upgrade. Might happen but nothing to stake your career on. Some people went there counting on being upgrade once having the hours and are disappointed.

The best location is YESELKOY (not sure of the writing)
It's less than 7 min from the airport (about 15TL for one way)
It looks like a small village on the shore line. You will find lots of nice bars & restaurants as well grocery stores, walking path along the beach and green areas a bit everywhere. In few words... a sharming place!!!
I do beleive many expats are living there, leading to a little booming in the estate market. Anyway, u can find a 2 bedrooms apartment for about 2000 TL/month.
Perfect place for kidds and housewifes.
About the schools, sorry but I don't have a clue.
All the best

As an update:
TK has changed the assessment to a 3 day process… much more easy for those of us who have busy rosters at our current airline. All was very organized and the staff at TK were most welcoming to our group… quite friendly indeed. Overall, a good experience.
