(Not sure if this is in EUROS or USD)

F/O contract finally states that UPGRADE to Captain and UPGRADE to Long haul fleet if hired into the 737 or A320 is feasable within a few years of working for the company. You also receive a Turkish seniority number.

With all the orders they have waiting and the new airport being built, this might be a good move for most. Istanbul is becoming into a great city, a European city which is very close to any country in the EU and just over 10 hours from the US East Coast.

I'll try and upload the contract at some point when I get my hands on it. Seems like they are trying to take the guys who are trying to move to Emirates or Etihad by offering more money and chance for upgrade.
