Are FAA ATP's acceptable?

Yes they are.

I'm seeing different requirements on multiple pages. Are they accepting CRJ time and is this invite only or open to all?

Noticed EMB-145 wasn't on the list, but other 50 seaters were. Any idea why?

Take it with a big grain of salt, but I suggest people read about THY and their discriminatory practices related to upgrades of expat pilots (hired as FOs) on PPRuNe Forums - Professional Pilots Rumour Network. Sure, pprune is full of a lot of nonsense, but many current THY expat pilots on the Middle East board who are not happy. Might be a worthwhile read.

I personally wouldn't consider it unless I was hired into the left seat. Promises/contracts are not always honored in that part of the world.

Good company ... schedule sucks for 737/320 fleet ... pay is GOOD but might tumble due to weak Turkish Lira ... Expat F/Os won't upgrade. I would go only if they offer Long range aircraft, build time .. then go to Qatar/Etihad/Emirates where you'll upgrade eventually ..especially Qatar 4-5 years Max right seat.

What about a US Regional FO trying to get some Boeing or Airbus time to eventually get on somewhere flying B777, A380's, Etc?

Can you go from 737 to 777 FO as an expat?

Thanks for the insight.
