Hey Guys,

Does anyone know the deal for A340 Captains? Is it a perm contract or just a fill in until the local guys are ready?

The money seems ok, is Istanbul and exoensive place to live?

Hows is the cabin crew, do they party, mingle with expats or are the a bunch of stuck up princesses

YES!
 

Some are really stunning, very friendly and yes, they party like in the 80's, if you know what I mean!:ok:

Licence
 

Hi everyone,

I am TR FO on A320. I need any info about pilot licence for Turkish Airlines. As they mentioned before an ICAO ATPL now is acceptable for recruitment process, but what is the PIC upgrade policy? Do I need obtain a Turkish ATPL (details of Turkish licence possess) or they will upgrade you with your own ICAO ATPL? Please, kindly asking anyone to share details who have such kind of information.
Thanks in advance.

Second Chance at THY
 

Hi
Just wondering if you can re-apply to Turkish is you failed the sim on your
first interview. Has anyone got a second interview.
Thanks

BIG BIG DREAM..............and so called standard which they don't have themselves....i.e. Amsterdam,etc...:}

One year contract??????:ugh:

One year contract and maybee a 3 year extension, after that you are permanent employed and at the button on the senority list.
After one year no more ID90 tickets. Roster changing every day. Long working hours and a lot of domestic flying with layovers. Max 4 days off in a row.
For now-no upgrade-lots are waiting. Change to widebody is strickly via senority list.
Istanbul is not cheap to live in. A non-english speaking company. On stops you are all alone and changing cockpit, cabin and aircraft on every rotation.
The worst thing is that nobody understands you, very few in OPS, cockpit cabin etc.
Just amazing.

Careful with this one guys. As is mentioned unions are stronger here. And I alway do not like it when companies try to cut the corner by hiring outsiders instead of their own, unless they do it rigth and give landed immigrant status or at least some kind of indication of long term commitment. If your a local, then theres nothing that can be said! Otherwise your just putting yourself at risk of a tough workplace with the "soft war" against the locals, and being nervous of being unemployed just when you are getting to like the place.

Besides the compensation is not even close to what would qualify for the increased pain re:above. The only ones this will serve is early retiries looking for a paid vacation.

10k for CA? give me a break. I make almost double that now. If you want to entice people and have this temp contract employment, you will have to put a premium THY. Are you listening?

Fubaliera... OK for you ... much closer to home. Though you might need a bit more time in the LHS?

no wonder you all sound so grumpy when you fly through Iraq

Turkish Airlines A320 Captain recruitment.
 

THY
 

Yes, they started again recruitment for all fleets .

Turkish Airlines A320 Captain recruitment.
 

Has anyone heard anything about when they will recommence recruiting non-typerated domestic F/Os and or S/Os? the rumour in mid Jan was that they would start in 2-3 months from then, wich is pretty much where we are att present if I'm not very mistaken :8

HR-dept won't answer any other questions other than that my CV has arrived at their pile.

Are all F/Os obliged to do the full DLR-test nowadays?

I got a reply today, even for nationals they require 1500tt and 500h on the type you are going to fly there nowadays and no more SO/FO-recruitment in the foreseeable future. :ugh:

any furure 737 captains with the new orders?

Anybody to comment on the SFI positions? Does somebody has first hand experience with the airline?

Friend was due to go for interview but got email from recruitment agency to say that age limit is now down to 55.

New Age Limit
 

I can confirm reduced age limit I was set to go to IST when PARC advised they had just recieved the 55 age restriction, I'm 58.:sad:

Age limit
 

The age limit for transfer to widebody in THY is 55 years, so this is why they cannot accept expats above 55, when the locals cannot transfer .

if i go as a 737 captain..can i stay permanent if i decide after the initial contract, and can i move on to the wide body captain later on....i am looking to spend 22 years of flying for turkish and take a permanent postion if all goes well after my initial one year contract

Very very doubtfully...

Why would that be?

PPJN shows min age is 40.. it used to be 37.
I have the experience required but underage. especially if they raised to 40..
Any idea what is the min age then? and why ?

Because THY is looking for experienced professionals already highly qualified on the aircraft. Not someone they can train and promote.

I am talking about already qualified captains with more than their requirements except the age ..
Cant they overlook this restriction?

Dont ask me.... and THY doesnt take personal calls. The have agencies to do the pre screening...

Good luck

Has anyone heard anything regarding recruitment of F/Os?

any 737 captain interviews in the near future......

heard that THY had stopped recruitment for some time?

JB

I heard that they were to recruit during April but I haven't heard anything. Rumors says that they had another batch of guys sent to DLR in Hamburg recently.

THY
 

There will be no recruitment for the time being on B737,A320 ! But they are looking at getting some 777,A330/340 pilots .The reason being that they are only allowed 10% expat pilot out of the total pilot force by the turkish CAA , so they would rather get 777/330 pilots .Things may change and they do so quite often .

So there isn't any recruitment for the time being?
I don't see any information on their website.
Is there usually an online application for B737/A320 FO's?

Thank you,
Dan

Yes Daniel, but the application form is taken down for some reason. I'm still waiting as well for an opportunity to apply.

Thanks aozc! :ok:

If THY is in need of pilots they will write it at their website. If they aren't searching for pilots, they won't ask for applications. Simple.

How comes they have been recruiting extensively during the time that the form has been removed from the site then?

If the application is available at the site there are people who will apply, right? After a while they will have a look at the applications and if there are enough applications to fullfil the job openings they will close the application (in the most cases there are date openings -> closings). After the application is closed they will take contact with the appliers and make a date to test them. This takes (a lot of) time. The selections for the pilots isn't done in 2 days because they have to be judged and conclude the candidate is ok or not. This sub-processes take a lot of time and that is the reason why there are candidates which are hired a month of 2 - 4 after closing the application.
