Current 777 Capt. is approx 17,000 Turkish Lire after tax...plus a 3 monthly bonus of +7,000 Turkish Lire.....if you don't want to stay in a hotel they will give you 2,000 Turkish Lire/ Month towards an apartment, overtime is earned over 70 hours/month and additional pay is earned working on Sundays and Turkish Public Holidays....

2000 lire for a flat in IST means a rellocation in a "FAVELA" area of the city.:ugh:

The majority of 777 pilots stay in a hotel, only a handfull have taken the accommodation allowance option, the current hotel used is The Titanic at Bakirkoy, fairly close to the airport, convenient to a major shopping mall, restaurants & the railway station...most European domiciled people have a chance to head home after long range flights with the required 48 hour rest period.....

Hello, how do they go home? According to the contract you get Z-tickets only after one year with the company.... or is that diffrent? I would appreciate any info on that. Pay sounds good, how is working climate and treatment there? Thanks in advance.

Wide body contract Capts. with THY get FREE travel to their domicile for their block days off....for European based crew, a ticket to the nearest port served by THY, for overseas pilots a THY ticket PLUS an economy ticket on any airline to their home base , say THY to JFK then a refunded ticket to ATL or wherever, there are pilots commuting from LAX/GRU/AKL/BNE & HKT!!!

Does anybody know what taxation is applied to the advertised salary package by the Turkish Goverment and if the Company pays part of it?

How many Pilots are they looking for the A330 fleet? I heard they stopped hiiring for the B777 and the A320.

Thanks

they wait for more turkish pilots to be ready and then expats go home... especially if you speak greek then it doesnt matter if you fly the sim spot on.. you go home!

FOs have been offered long term positions ....and they are getting turkish lessons from the company, I think you're just mad cos you failed the screening.
Please stop talking bull!!!!:ugh:

Input ?
 

I am flying on Saturday to IST and will look into THY and some of the Lad´s there. Are there any serious questions required to ask? Somehow I am temptet to join.

The day´s off is not as good as I have presently but the overall feedback is more positive then where I am at the moment. It is closer to home and some of the destinations are the same I fly presently, no exciting news then except to Africa again.

I prefer the Hotel instead of the own appartment there as it is less hassle for me to keep up with all the other stuff you hang onto when you have a appartment. Bills, cleaning, washing clothes and making breakfast, all done in the Hotel for me. I am used to it and it workes for me the last 15 Years.

Contract duriation is not that clear between the offer and the reality, 3 years versus 1 year. Lookes like a extended probation period. Some of my former Colleagues who are there over 3 years now on a wet lease have not too much to complaint about. Everybody keep´s a little secret about the total day´s off got at home in excess to the 7 days for Europeans and the average pay per month as it fluctuates due to extra pay for Sunday/Holiday and +70 hrs.

I appreciate any input and suggestion what I can expect and how it is applied.

Fly safe and land happy

Is there any chance for FOs' to be upgraded to LH seat? I have 7000 TH, 3500h A320 and 1000h command on DASH8? Thanks
