As said ...none. Medical insurance is more that they make sure you will not report sick by having implemented one of the most absurd " procedures" ( that anyway you will not be able to understand since its written in a new language, Engturk unknown to the most) ever seen on earth requiring you to see a doctor also if unable move or breath. Than they will cut anyway by 70% and if your sickness persist you might get a termination letter for insufficient performance.The LOL is 100.000 USD...again equivalent to none.

Pork…
Umm… but they DO have it. At least in my documents I have.
100,000 dollars is nothing to you? Well, if heaven forbid, you ever lose your license due to medical, I'm more than happy to take your $100,000 that you seem to think is nothing? :-)

Kap: Yes, they do indeed have $100kUS for LOL.
An expat colleague recently lost his medical, and I heard he got his money with relative ease. I say relative, because any bureaucratic procedure here is painful, but the main thing is the money was there
Pork does have a point regarding sick leave. The system here is nothing less than disgraceful!

Onehotflyer,
Thanks for the input but this comment is very general. Could you please explain in more details what makes you come to this conclusion? What would be the main negative points in this company? (perhaps the salary, upgrade opportunity , roster ... ?? ). Im sure your explanations would help some people who are probably thinking of joining THY but have not made up their mind.

chrislikesblue i think i know what our fellow friends is talking about.
What onehotflyer means is that there is no problem with the rosters.
However upgrading time and seniority list following is slightly different. You may never become a captain unless THY needs captains so badly.
The general treating first officers is like crap, even the turkish citizens. You are just a number as some other carriers in the ME. However things change when you become a captain.
The salary is a relative thing so i am avoiding to comment on that, however currency of turkish liras is fluctuating like crazy lately(TL has lost about %30 in the last 6 months against USD).
So there has been a migration from THY to ME majors.
As far as i know 150 first officers(all foreign) and 60 captains(also all foreign) resigned from THY, but it might not be all about the salary...

Apparently ex EK guys at Turkish are asking EK if they can come back. The situation at Turkish and in Turkey is not good. Turkish refuse to pay in Euro or USD.
Lot's of home standby and airport standby in Istanbul. Rosters getting worse on the 777. My source is an ex EK pilot.

EK pilots joined THY ?
I do not know what THY pays but I find it strange that people would leave a company with one of best salaries and benefits in the industry to join THY. Could someone give me an idea of their package?

foswillruletheworld pretty much covered it. Salary going down each month, FO is just a Captains slave, so many stupid military attitudes, captains that think they are Gods gift to aviation but in reality are rather crap and need to be watched like a hawk, back stabbing, probably no chance of an upgrade as you will always be second after a local, not the best as a commuter, lack of or no communication from the office and management, arriving for a flight only to find your schedule has been changed and no one tells you. And the list goes on and on. I imagine its what aviation was like 60 years ago.
Definitely not what it says on the tin.
