SeattlePilot,

As you suggest, I have sent my information to Sky, Pegasus, MNG, and Onur via their online applications ( where it worked ) and email.

It's interesting that many have said they need experience in Turkey yet they fail to respond when "experience" knocks on their door. It's the 21st century and electronic communication is the rule, not the exception. If they need and want experience in the cockpits, perhaps they should check their websites and email. After all, they are the ones who provided this avenue of communication.

I have done a bit of study about Turkey and talked at length to my Turkish friends. I think working there, for all its apparent challenges, would be a worthwhile experience.

It's all rather an interesting situation, but not a tragedy for me if I cannot connect with emplyoment there.

There are many pilots like me looking for a way to keep flying after completing our careers in other places ( and, no, we are not "owed" anything ).
