Do you know why they provide in the ME free housing or housing allowance? I guess you know that, otherwise no body goes there.

Just compare the rent between Istanbul and Doha/Dubai.

"Titanic Port hotel" . . . . . ironically suitable name, with all & sundry abandoning ship.

I met (in a hotel bar ) a "local" FO a couple of weeks back.

As I am flying a relevant type as Commander, he asked me why I didn't want to join THY.

I cited a roster that allowed one to go home once a month max wasn't up to much (it was a SH fleet ) the constant devaluation of real salary due to being paid in TL, and (and this was prior to the Coup, but post Ataturk attack ) the rather obvious security concerns.

His response was totally & utterly to bury his head in the sand & "assure" me that it was not like this at all, & that I shouldn't believe what I read (international media obviously being just as unreliable as pprune )

I guess if his Bosses have their heads similarly "underground" they must be amazed that whatever they do to slacken the criteria for entry the world is still not flocking to their door.

I read an interesting article the other day concerning the slow time bomb that the damage to the tourist industry has ignited, I could imagine crewing all the new airframes they are planning to expand with is going to start to appear quite achievable (in comparison to filling their cabins ) in the near future.

Psychomanthic the all Turkish Airlines appeal to expat was based on the fact that Istanbul and Turkey seemed to be heading to EU accession, were providing a safe , free, unionized, democratic, rights respecting environment and a decent 4 season climate.
Most of this factors seem to be not the case anymore beside the climate. Multiple terrorist attacks, security concerns and the recent dramatic events and their consequences have brought Turkish Airlines on a completely different perspective to our eyes. Regardless in Dubai/Doha/Abu Dhabi you get the company housing or cash in lieu ( plus paid education for kids up to univerisity 43 days leave ,substantially higher salaries. interest free loans and a more expat friendly environment) and rents are not far off if you consider locations ( The Palm...or Gunesly) and sizes. Other airline offer real commuting options and I really think that THY should go this way ..if they still need expatriate pilots.
We all hope everything will go back to to normal and Turkey and THY will proceed in their democratic development and expansion.Nobody has anything with theTurkish people here even the more critical that I believe are only trying to elicit reactions or to obtain better conditions. I sure don't know what will happen ...but I can tell you everybody is very concerned.

Hello gents
Please someone tell us if THY has stopped screening process and they have cancelled 25 a/c on the orders and also cancelled their deliveries due to recent circumstances.
If this is true please elaborate (which i'm personally not happy about it ).
Would you guide me where to find the most accurate and latest news about the company please???
Fly safe

Psychomantic you should be happy...many yabancies are on the way. As a matter of fact almost everyday someone posts on the foreign pilot mail group leaving apartments and selling furniture. There are jobs available with better conditions and in more calm areas of the world.

I am not complaining. Of course there are better places. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. I'm staying where I am
