I can confirm that they stopped recruiting: I have seen an email from THY pilot recruitment sent to a friend the 26th July stating that everything is on hold for the comings weeks.

I mean, with those T&C it would be a no brainer for any smart person.
Or even better, why not a job with your home airline? I hear they have good conditions and it would be home

Treated anxiety

Hi everyone, believe it or not, in 2015, this is my first forum experience so; sorry if I screwed up.
To get to the point, I'm a 25 year old guy who's going to apply for a fully sponsored cadet program in my national flag carrier. The thing is, I've been diagnosed and -TREATED- with anxiety disorder. I don't know what type but I've had exaggerated worries over possible negative consequences related to my health and natural disasters (I live quite close to a fault line and it's predicted that a major earthquake will hit my city in the following years.)
During the treatment process, I've had to take cipralex 10mg and gone through 3 screenings in 4 months. All went fine and I've been just fine for a year so far.
The thing is, my country's ministry of health keeps the medical records for 5 years. I'm wondering if my case would hinder me from getting my medical pass during the initial screening.
Thanks in advance have a nice day!
Man wasn't this you?.As said the job is not only ( if at all) fun. Loads of stress and constant fatigue especially in Turkish were the limits are the norm. If Turkey will ever get into EASA ( which I doubt) just know that medical will get tougher on the psychological aspect after the A320 smashed into the Alps..

Turkish Airlines 737
First time contributor on this platform.But I believe I have a moral duty to share my impressions. Which are mostly negative. Flying every month to the limit,virtually no free time, commuting impossible if not for three days a month (moving family to Turkey not an option if you care about their safety) insane rosters ( fly sleep eat..fly that' S the motto) with minimum rests, management morevl resembling a bunch of mobster and training ..( what training..no standard,often no English) The only advantage are the salary ( if you'll ever survive to spend the few bucks you'll save ) and the fact that it is paid on time. Add to this the big mess the country is in, many security critical destinations plus the many 6/7 hours to dark Africa in the middle of the night and you might understand why my time here is over..enough.Bye Bye.

Well, as you can see, I said it's treated. And I also got the go from an approved hospital and DLR psychologists whose expertises were in aviation pscyhology. I've been in a military boarding school and got my fair share of blank future and graduation cramps at that time and learnt how to deal with them. Now I bayonet charge at stress, I eat crunchy anxiety for breakfast cereals so going through a damn break up with my girlfriend or not getting a business ticket for my commute back home won't cause me to cuddle to my pillow and cry or slam a passanger jet into Alps unlike a spoilt little middle class European kid. So thank you for your consideration but I'm immune to fatigue and stress now. And just a little side note, this was somewhat hitting below the waist.

Jasta..your management knows perfectly there is a problem but the average Turkish pilots is too proud to accept critics and moreover to implement a much needed self criticism. I think it goes down to a culture that is still not really based on rationality but on emotions not really ideal in aviation. There are plenty of good professionals and I believe the situation has improved slightly but still a minority and way too many issues.
Here is your comparison

Thanks for sharing a sort of data for my potential study but simply looking at wikipedia page of the publisher gave me a solid idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JACDEC you might want to check out controversies section. I'd expect more of an authority report.
The listing of Turkish Airlines as the least safe airline is supported by Turkish Airlines DC-10 crash, which was due to manufacturing faults of the DC-10's cargo door locking system, that killed all 346 aboard. In the aftermath of this crash action was taken worldwide to fix the cargo doors fault of DC-10's, that were in service."
Well Jasta, how is the safety record in the last few years then. Any significant incidents to report? Stalling on final? Busting minimums in Khatmandu? Several serious incidents in the last year? "Expect more of an authority report" you say...when was the last accident report in Turkey made easily available. Never seen one yet.
Are we seeing an example of "too proud to accept critics and moreover to implement a much needed self criticism."

Most of my post was to point out that despite the controversy about the Jacdec method, their rating of TK is not unrealistic.
One thing you could do that would be very useful would be to try to find some accident reports. They are frequently posted on-line by many countries. Reading these can prevent a future accident. Can you help in any way.
