Default Flying Corporate in Turkey

Morning everyone, anyone out there know what the local market is for flying a Beechjet 400xp corporately in Turkey?

I hold an ATP and first class medical, I understand that under JAA there is a conditional license that could be issued for a year since I am typed in the a/c and hold an ATP.

Anyone with any thoughts or insights into this or living conditions and pay please let me know.

Thanks

I have a summer house in Turkey. I truly enjoy this country. At least where my house is life is simple, really cheap to live there, people are really nice, food is delicious, beach is beautiful. You will definitely get a lot more respect as a pilot there than you are probably used to. Just make sure to get paid in Euro or US dollars. Don't trust banks there. Ooo and watch out big time when you drive.

I enjoy trips to Turkey...people are super friendly, women are knockouts, and the food/wine is great.

Just had 3-4 days in Bodrum and it was fun, but WAY too hot.

You do see some Turkish corp jets there (LTBA/LTFJ) but not very many..

For the ignorant or the uninformed

"midnight express, do I need to say anymore" a film made to discredit the Turkish nation who at the behest of the US government apprehended a international drug smuggler who subsequently went on to make a lot of money from the film that was not entirely accurate anyway.

No I am not Turkish or even remotely connected with the place.
