Turkish Airlines

Gent,

Is the long haul job in THY a permanent job or a 3 year contract? I have heard both versions.
Please answer only if you know, not if you have heard something (like me)

Thanks

its 1 year initially, then becomes another extra 3 , renewed anyways every 1 year due to foreign worker contract issue with the work permit, but it is still a 3 years deal after the initial one...then it will become forever if in 4 years time they still need you....no they wont.

No upgrade for FOs, no change of fleet...just work.

yes i was at the assessment, yes i was offered a job..

Difference between LH and SH is the roster..commutable for LH, not commutable for SH...

Hang on...after 4 years what has changed. Why wouldnt they need us. If they hire 30-40 or 50 ( I dont know the number) pilots now, it would be strange if they would fire everyone after 4 years.
Are they not mandated to hire expats or is that just a rumour?

reason for recruitment is simple: fleet expansion. Even more their CEO has no intention of joining one of the large groups in Europe but rather sees Turkis as the nucleus of the fourth large airline group to come...

they may belong to STAR, but they have no intention of joining any LH or AF/KLM or BA/IB group. After all that's what their CEO said....

With the planned fleet expansion from about 140 A/C to 300 A/C in 8 to 10 years they will require contract pilots for many years, latest word was 140 more Capts. on various types plus 600 F/O slots...contract initially one year and if service is satisfactory a three year extension is offered ( renewable).

What are the minimum hrs. requirements. Is a type rating required? I've got a couple thousand PIC jet (DC-9), and maybe 2000 SIC in the 320, would that be competitive for a direct hire captain?

Thanks

Sorry...

Please don't ge me wrong, but looks like your jet PIC experience is not compatible with your age...which could affect your competitiveness...
Better to check with the agencies, if they are that desperate you have good chances.
