Assessment for instructors should be identical as for captains: psycho group test, english, simulator, board interview and full medical.
1500 hours minimum and 500 hours instruction on one of their aircraft type.
Wilingness to move to Turkey and adapt, plus 3 or 4 years commitment.
There is a limiting cap on perrcentage of foreign employee, so they need to drastically increase their training capability to cope with the number of cockpit coming their way!

Flight Instructors
 

Are they interviewing only in Istanbul and if yes, are they paying for travel/accommodation etc? Any written commitment expected for a subsequent FO position? Any info would be appreciated.

Hello. Can you provide any information about the assessment?
I am going soon and I would like to know if you have to do any simulator or flight. Are the ground questions related to airline or instructing?
Any information is welcome.

Kindest regards,

Instructor Interviews!
Weeks of interviews, and nobody's reporting back!
Is it as bad as I hear?
Instructor's thrown in a 737 sim with no briefing apart from the emergency exit!
Forget to tell you, you will soon be based on a disused airfield in the middle of Turkey (place is named Aydin, 120 klik east of Izmir) and expats will stay on singles as twins are for locals.
Verbal promises of a first officer position after some time!! Only if you've been a good boy, if they need FO's, and you pass selections (again) but nothing on papers!
Local's English skill is appalling for most, but they keep on failing English natives at their "test". Serious!
Interview process to flatter their ego! "We 're so good, cause so many fail!"
Salary seems unbeliveable, "if it look too good to be true, it generally is!"
On the other hand, peoples are nice and welcoming, eager to see new blood coming!
Potential is there, will they let it flourish?

Anybody hear anything else?

hi guys,

I´m invited for the assessment in IST.
can anyone tell me what to expect? i have no idea.. not a single!

thx

Then you are in trouble or very young..

I everyone,

I have to attend the THY screening (Airbus) and I would appreciate any information/impression from expact pilot already working there like lifestyle in turkey, how is the company "according your experience", roster, ecc...


Thank you

Hi Mac320,

Don't want to dishearten you but I've heard THY are pretty serious about English language skills. Best of luck.

Not the answer I was waiting for but tnx anyway for the elucidation Guru8904

Yes for expats ,in most cases, for locals not the case even those with "level6😂😂😂😂"
No changes otherwise rosters a joke big license issued as THY not EASA rising fatigue rising incident rates.
Glad to be cutting grass.

SADDLER,

Any chance you can send me what you know about the selection as well? I've just been invited later this month and have now started to look for information about the procedure.

Five days does sound quite long to me?!

lira devaluation

In factthere are pilots living Air China to join Thy , it shouldnt be that bad...!!!???

Hi everbody!

I am invited for the THY assessment in a couple of weeks and wondering about the tech and English test. Is it true that the questions are taken out of the 'ACE: The pilot technical interview'? Can someone provide previous asked questions for me?
I would appreciate any information!

Regards

K.

Brush up on running the apu while pax are loading...cause your airplanes are always hot when boarding.

Is the payscale for the local 737 FOs the same as the sigma/parc etc. contracts?

Hi,

I`ll have the assessment for THY soon. Could anybody tell me about the technical exam, the english test and the final interview? As I learned, the questions are from the ACE book. What questions were asked? Any examples?

Thank you in advance

There is no tech exam.
When I did the assessment, consisted on that:

-HTA (group exercise)
-Interview with the psychologist
-English test
-Documents check
-Sim
-Final interview (you may have some questions here, quite simple actually).

Good luck!

Is there anyone on the board who could shed some light on the current situation within THY?

Im thinking about going for a assesment as FO for B737. I have previous experience working for a Turkish company, but non the less I would like to know about matters as:
-Roster, any offday blocks?
-possibility to change type/ upgrade
-flight hours a month
-do they still send you on 3 days stretches in a hotel
-number of lay overs a month

I hope there is someone out there with some info! Thanks in advance

Block off: Yes, 4 days a month.
Type/Upgrade: They say yes....but no proof yet ;)
Hours: around 90, sometimes 70 sometimes 100.
Stretches: Yes, several times per month 3 days away from home.
Layovers: expect 8 - 15 nights away from home a month....Africa/Middle east/Turkey and sometimes nice places but by far not enough time to explore the nice places.

kumbaya

I agree with you except for the type change.

I would say that we've already seen almost all the guys who joined the company 2 years ago, going to the 330 or 777. I'm talking about 737 fleet.

So yes, the possibility of fleet change is a fact

What is a common takehome in TL every month? including and excluding blockhourpay on the 737-fleet FO. I would be very happy if someone could shed some light on this.

How is the atmosphere compared to the sistercompany?

Archer, can you confirm this is also for the foreigners the case ?

Yes. In the last group 4 foreigners did the course for the a330. Before them, some more did the 777.
I'm talking about FO who joined the company in the 737 fleet around the end of 2010 beginning of 2011.
If you look the seniority list you'll see them around the 400-500 ;)
