I prefer much more the Gulf Carriers and GCC life Style (Dubai) than to live in Turkey. But for Europeans, you'll be closer to your home, weather is similar too, this isn't my case.

That segregation atmosphere on THY between expats and local's isn't comfortable.

There is no way THY will be able to crew its aircraft without expat so I think there will be no chance work permit will be canceled unless a civil war will start..which is almost the case by the way.. This has nothing to do with Turkish people which are mostly pleasant and gentle but the environment in THY has been poisoned by an uneffective management which has been totally incapable of managing this new expat experience. HR is a disaster of communication and they have been trying to cheat multiple times thinking that expat are all idiots. The only result was to loose reputation , very capable pilots and waste a fortune in never ending recruiting and " training "often with progressively lower and lower level candidates. It would seem that in Turkey people when they get into a power position just fall in love with it ..in an tad excessive way. You can see that in politics as well. We all hope for the best and wish THY success but something must change.

Yeah..cause beside the "privileged" wide body ..what's on offer fails to attract much other than type self sponsoring guys. Seems anyway a good business for CAE/Park Aviation ( the large recruiting agency? ) ain't it? The more they fail the more they have to pre screen...

Not sure I'm following you,nothing new id say, but agencies get the money when the candidate is signing the Airline contract,not before the selection takes place.

I heard a different story about getting paid by candidate regardless of the outcome. The Irish mafia & Co is capable of shameful things for cash and THY is an easy target seen their lack of experience and, from a certain perspective, ingenuity.

Do they provide accommodation for expats in Istanbul or you have to find it on your own and pay from your own pocket?

Seen the recent events it has become progressively difficult to find anything positive beside salary paid on time...at least so far. I heard a financial disaster is at the horizon...

Till they offer accettabile rosters with real commuting option for NB they will keep scraping the bottom of the barrel...already scooping wood probably. This last events will not help..so it's quite time for it.
