Correct, this is common practice in many places around the world! When I applied here in Japan, I took my logbook to a public notary and had it stamped....! Don't know if THY will accept this, just a suggestion.

Stamping
 

Excellent suggestion! Satisfies the stamping requirement. Now on to deal with the next asinine requirement...

I wonder why I didn't get this. Was this in an email? Here is all I found regaurding docs ....nothing in here about this "stamping"

Directly from the "Turkish Airlines Assesment Briefing.pdf"

Day 2: Tuesday (Document Check)
You will need to bring all of your original documentation with you on the day of your assessment
(including the Turkish Airlines Form that you have submitted to Sigma Aviation), if you do not
currently have the following documents you should immediately request them as if you are successful
in your assessment they will be required in order to proceed with your job offer: please bring COPIES
of the documents as well.
The documents below are essential and must be available on Day 1 of the assessment:
Passport
Pilots License, Medical Certificate
Log book
Colour Passport Photos x 4
The documents below can be submitted at a later date if not currently available but if offered a
job, they must be provided (failure to provide these may result in a job offer being retracted):
Criminal record (should be issued recently from a legal authority eg: police dept. etc)
Incident/Accident record (should be issued recently from a legal authority if not from
every company they worked for)
Letters of Recommendation
High School or University Diploma
Turkish Airlines Form

Did they raise their pay or start paying in something besides the Lira? I have read several times "good pay" on this thread but when I check the pay and convert it from Lira it doesn't sound so good.

I don't have any experience dealing with these contract companies, but the discrepancy could be the difference between going through Sigma vs FCI... Doesn't seem to make much sense because applying to the same airline but that's the only reasoning I can think of....

That could be.

Just got an email this morning from FCI that the Turkish DGCA is no longer accepting FAA ATP's for the Non Type Rated pilots.

We were unfortunately informed this morning by THY that the Turkish DGCA will no longer accept FAA and ICAO license holders for the NTR positions.

If you hold a JAA/EASA ATP, please let us know as we then can continue with your screenings - though we did not see this on your application.

Should this change, we’ll be sure to inform you immediately. Please let me know if you have any questions.

With kind regards,

Thank heavens I didn't spend my off days going to that roadshow and harrassing my CP to write a rec letter for me, or to certify/stamp all my logbook pages.

Are their pilots in negotiations or something? I had heard some rumors this FAA thing might've been an attempt by the company for leverage, but idk.

Not at all surprised...
