man I have been seriously considering going back home (turkey) to get on with a mainline over there too... starting pay is alright, but you'll stop making around 150Kish compared to here @nearly 300 grand on a top notch airline.

there is an airline there called pegasus. I can get on with them with about 200-300TT/25ME or so. Just need to get my stuff changed over to JAA. I'm not sure how that works, I need to look into it.
