There are currently 1000 cadet pilots waiting to complete their training. So Turkish Airlines does not intend to recruit first officers from outsourced until 2023.
As for the need for captaincy, nearly 200 captain pilots who fly A330/A320 are waiting outside due to the bankrupting of Atlasglobal and Onur Air's lack of flight for months.

1USD=19.5 Turkish lira as an average.
inflation rate in turkey is almost zero75 up to 100 percent but for living in turkey its descent salary but if you live abroad its not good at all ,for average salary as a captain with including 3 months bonus you may get between 9.500 up 11500 just bear in mind roster and crew planning is chaos

I'm considering Turkish Airlines as an open possibility to leave the gulf region, since they have the commuting for wide body. It might suit me as I would be commuting from Europe.
If some of you could shed a light about the current terms and conditions would be great!
Even though eventually the roster is a chaos, do they honor the commuting?

Language barrier : in English in TK. In the country, sometimes a problem, yes.
Feel a stranger ? Not to much…Maybe for Expat FOs…
Only half a speed-brake
At one point before the pandemic struck, some agents had been painting the narrow body THY offer as 'commutable'. IIRC it was 5 days off stringed together.
Let's protect what we have, if by simply adhering to the correct and unambiguous terms.
The previous post implies 21+7 (=6+2) as commuting, and I cry foul.
Commuting shall forever mean you don't relocate the family. 21+10 (same as the Baltic ACMI summer) or 6+3 / 4+2 is pushing it, and rather impossible in the long term to maintain proper familial relations.
3+2 / 4+3 / 18+13 / 160 off annually. That's where 'commuting' starts. The corporate is trying to sell you something entirely different.
There are 52 weekends per year. The standard work-class, blue collar (which we are from cost/yield viewpoint) pattern has
52x2 weekends
15 (3 weeks worth of vacation)
5 (statutory Bank Holidays, best guess)
= 124 days home in full
with every night in own bed in between!
Let's not insult ourselves nor our dependants that 7-per-month (84 yearly) or even 8 (96 yearly) is commuting. No, that is just insulting terminology and an outright lie, from someone who attempts not to pay the family relocation cost and associated expenses.

The above is not THY specific.

8 days off
On the first day OFF you can Take the first flight to home at 8 or 9 am. Usually only 3 hrs or less to Europe. You’re home for lunch ! Thanks to Time difference !

Unfortunately some people don´t understand this fact - until reality hits them, with the wife and kids being alienated and the dog looks at you as you´re a stranger!

wide body TK as Captain : the question was about it: so close to Europe ! You can return for 2 days…Plus the 8 in a row of course…No problem with wife, kids and dog ! And it is not to avoid relocation! You have the pleasure to see your home, your country often!

Expat captains have block days off, so it is possible to commute. Especially if you are on wide body and live somewhere 3-4 hours away, you can also go home after ER flights.
The narrow body, is possible for block-off days but quite hard on other days, and the rostering is very chaotic.
Which fleet are you referring to? Been flying on A320 (and recently A330) for around 5 years and haven't seen any captain "not adhering to SOP".
