Then they must have gotten an exemption from the new regulations somehow. Or they just want to sell some typeratings for €30 000 and then kick the foreigners out when the summer season is over. :confused:

I think the latter is applicable :(
Cause I have heared the same as dewey..and know 3 who will join personally. they ar getting a seasonal contract

Correct.

How is the cold city up north?

Perhaps you will find that only type rated people will be taken on now in Turkey as the Turkish TRTOs are now outside of the EASA system, UK from last year, rest of Europe (EU) from April this year. Some non typed, non-Turkish guys are already going home from THY.

Yes this is going to cause alot of trouble :uhoh:

If one would transfer the license into a turkish one, I think the chances of reconverting it into an EASA-license and then finding a job in Europe will be very hard.

Until a couple days ago Storm McGinley was looking for non-type rated captains for 3 yr commuting contract with SunExpress, Ankara base. Eligible was anyone with JAA licence and more than 500 hrs command time on aeroplane above 28t MTOW. Now there is very similar advert on Sigma but now strictly for jet commanders and Q400 specifically excluded.

Could anyone please shed some light on this change of mind? Did any Q400 capt actually made it into B737 LHS while it was enough to merely hold command on 28t+ aeroplane, condition levers equipped or not?

Yes there are boat drivers that have gone directly into the LHS :E

Really? where? All the TP drivers that did not have Jet PIC time started as FOs for a period, some 6 months, some 12 months...

He has only flown TP earlier as PIC but went straight in as a captain on the LHS for SXS. More than that I cannot disclose, especially not a friend on a public forum :}

the world is a small place.. I know who you are talking about :)

Is there anyone that can give me a point of contact with the recruitment team so I can send my application?
Unfortunatelly I could find only a Turkish application page.

Thanks.

contact

Locals only

Completely independent of SunExpress turkey!

:mad: ...gentleman....watch out at the 3 ladies at the interview....they are looking for hot drivers,....not pilots :D

Regarding EASA licenses
 

Guys if my memory is not misleading me, you are allowed to hold a 3rd country license (not third world) besides your easa license.

So this means you get a turkish license and you can still do your easa medical and profcheck beside that license, it will cost you money un the end but it is not impossible as some guys think...

Reference is part fcl i iam not mistaken

I've today received a response from Sun Express asking for copies of License, logbook etc, anyone else have the same........

I got this also today. I am not sure what is all about? I am not sure if it is directed to shortlisted or to all of the applicants!?! I have to say that I am a low hour pilot without TR and living in Europe. As far as I know they want turkish F/O, not low timers outside of Turkey. Anyway I am gonna send them what they asked for.

Just the shortlisted. Congratulations!

Welcome to the wonderful world of aviation, where requirements change weekly. You got the opportunity, now grab it.

Attaboy! :}

Good luck Phenom.:ok:
