ExDubai i do understand completely what you mean but i really doubt that furb will get it, too.
He just positions himself like a person above everything. Above other line of jobs, other human beings, above a company, above the whole industry.
The thing is you will be a slave no matter what you do. Even if you do a freelance job; you will be a slave of the general economy which is connected to some crap politics decided by some big shots. You will just not be taking direct orders from someone else, however will still be relying on a lot of variables.
Good luck with your life.

Finally somebody with balls.
Very well said. It is time to wake up pilots.
If you see what's going on in the ME, pilots are working themselves to death and now everybody has to follow.
Pilots in TK on the shorthaul fleets have the worst conditions in the industry.
No life, just fly day and night.
There must be more in life.
This isn't a career anymore. With nowadays rosters you can't do it for 30 years.
Managers don't care about your health, when start pilots to realise this and stand up against ever eroding conditions.
Fly safe

Life on the long haul fleet, especially Triple is better than the SH, having said that, there are plenty of guys that visit home at least twice a month, OK, its only 3 day spurts but this is NOT ADVERTISED as a commute contract by THY, what lies the agencies ply to get recruits is another matter. Schools are expensive but they are anywhere outside Europe, even DOHA, Qatar and Bahrain so that issue can be generalised . On the plus side living costs are much cheaper than elsewhere, and NO you don't need to live in a dump, that's a personal choice. Crew planning do work you hard according to their rules which seem banana shaped at times. All this business about moral high ground, pride and self respect is smoke and mirror stuff that went out of the window 10 years ago when the profession permanently changed for the worse, it ain't changing back, accept it..
Even Easyjet, BA and other " respectable" airlines crews complain about fatigue, it's here to stay. Yes, we could all down tools and walk out, who will feed the kids and pay the bills? the problem is the " moral high ground" has a cost no-one is prepared to pay.. As for Unions, I was in BALPA for 20 years and I can't think of one single thing they did for us other than collect 1% of our salary, look at recent events, NAS, caved in, only AER Lingus won the battle in 2009, everyone else crashed and burnt. As for incompetent management.. show me an airline where they are not! The wake up call is for the delusional protagonists that think the " old days" will return.. as for balls.. no point in having big ones firing blanks

For what its worth, I just got an email from a recruiter about Pegasus. And here is your commuting contract:
"
* Permanent Contracts with Commuting Option (3 weeks on 1 week off)
"
Not sure I agree with that, but its least of my concerns. I can live with a non commuting contract too if everything else is right. I know nothing about Pegasus but obviously I immediately thought of THY and can't seem to believe Pegasus would be better all things considered.
I hope we get a new thread about Pegasus.

Hi,
1. Roster I dont know. But around 70-90Hrs per month, not commutable. I think the max. is 4 days off in a row once per month. But some one might be able to provide better info.
2. No Upgrade chance allthough advertised. The no University upgrade with 6500h is just a gig to get more applicants. No upgrade to Wide Body as the internal rule says that only guys with 1000tt as a maximum may apply for 777. So u as expat gonna be excluded.
Hope it helped a bit to lighten the dark.
Cheerio

I personally know a DLH first officer that joined few month ago and as been already upgraded.
I think is a sort of partnership between LUFTHANSA and TK.
I will try to have him write some words about it.

Ok furbpilot, it might be.
But: I saw a picture of him joining TK 9 month ago, in fo uniform in A 320 TK cockpit.
I saw a picture some weeks ago, in cpt uniform, in A 320 TK cockpit flying, and he was operating on the left seat.
So, I dunno

Just a small query from the pilots who know a bit about the Turk policies.
This may sound absurd but since I saw this in the middle east I would like to know if the same rules apply in Turkey.
Do educational documents that are provided to Turkish Airlines need some sort of verification for work permit issuance or the company itself goes through the trouble of verifying the educational credentials?

You will need an " official translation" of your documents, including the subjects studied stamped by a " Noter" in Turkey. In some cases,HR will contact your education establishment also to confirm attendance.
